Thought
To fully accept the very best
Let go of things you grasp
Old memories good or bad
No regrets or nostalgia had
Work and effort for reward
Wiped away without a trace
Cry not, for it passed to past
Let now moment’s glory last
The future too is not with you
Sow goodness now for then
Thanks for every breath arrived
And fruits not selfishly contrived
Attach not to these body parts
Or parts played in fleeting scenes
These move on like cloudy dreams
Torn by whirling changing winds
Magician Maya’s tricks well known
Deceptions in distractions shown
With attention drawn away to left
Right hand deftly makes the theft
Prayer
O Lord deceive me not with your illusion; grant the vision to see through your veil. Grant the gift of letting go my grasp of past, present or future. I know if I let go you catch and hold me.
