Retreat Inward

A quiet mind is fleeting
Thoughts flash
Can't recall the last
Or ones before that
Sit an hour
Can't observe twelve straight breaths

A ship tethered to the docks
Is in the sea
But it is not sailing
It is not free

Persist
Unclench
Let go
No judgements
Only curiosity

Get below the fray
Frivolous sensational games
Continuous reactivity, indulging ignorantly
There's little peace
And much suffering

Observe meta thoughts
And dodge self sabotage

Invert your awareness
From outside looking in
To inside observing out

From held in place
To suspended in space

Subtracting movement with agency
Only compelled activity remains

With quiet mind,
Still body
Retreat inward
