shweta advani - Thoughtless Mind

Its funny
I was a compulsive thinker..
My mind was full of questions n doubts...
Answers would never satiate my thirst abound...

I read books n books
Hoping the next one would bring solace
But with my thoughts they failed to keep pace..

I met faces n faces in the crowd..
Each havin a theory of their own of which they were so proud...

I watched the flowers n the stars
N wondered from where did they get their power...

I looked at the sky so vast..
N wondered how it kept the tranquility
N remained calm n untouched
by the noise of the buzzing city...

Until I realised that
It's the Power of Now
on which the nature thrives..
It doesn't live in the future or past
Present Moment is the only end
And present moment is the only start...

Now I wonder what took me so long
to enjoy the flight of a calm and thought less mind...,
It is the present moment awareness that holds the key…
I again find it funny..
Now I write poems from a mind that is thought free
