Candle focal point
The mind fixes upon light
Thoughts settle on peace

Always in the breath
Aligning with the centre
Natural order

Contemplate stillness
It is following the breath
Serene path to light

Poem ‘Meditation’

Sometimes I hate you, I must
avert my eyes.

Other times I love you
and I’m crazy, I can’t leave you
alone.

Mostly though I’m indifferent,
you’re something there out
of my window on any
random day,
like the sparrows who chat huddled
side by side
on their privet hedge.

But whether you’re friend, enemy
or mere acquaintance, you are all
outsiders—
intruders in this precious
secret space
