Finding Peace

I could try to type to light a fire with words

But I try to write to make it right ; Flight like birds

Touch the skyline of the city with compassion

Guanyin tactics needed to drastically manage this planet

Whether your Christian Muslim or Catholic

Peace be upon you… in other words you could say salaam too…

Regardless we can all praise the jewel in the lotus

With mindful focus

Its the peace we need to find

You know this

Morning Zendo

Contentment comfortably is the greatest luxury.

A mansion is not needed to rest your eyes.

Keep clean where you abide.

I am rich in spirit; In my lines you hear it.

Health is wealth; so build the self.

But do not attach to life; as we are all sent death.

Use your home as a Zendo of peace.

Everything you have is everything that you need.

Illusions of riches soon we lose with attrition.

Meditation on the dharma; the life has been given.

I am no teacher; so I’ll just have a seat.

Loving the poetry; in my Zendo retreat.

Focus. Sit inside the lotus. Monkey and Mindful.

Its good day for mindfulness plus unwind-full-bliss.

Nothing to find, no eye, no thought of shh… persists.

Remain focused! Dont let the monkey mind escape the lotus.

Come back monkey! You thought I wouldn’t notice!

Now have a seat. Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat.

Recite these mantras, escape away with me.

Give me yer hand. Off to the pure land.

Mindful and monkey together… To serve the world now…

A meditation poem.

Each breath is a blessing, Resting your mind

Calming you and guiding you with ease

Every moment is taken with awareness of all sensations

Let the daily tasks of life become ones meditation

Always aware and returning to a breath of peace

If hungry? Eat. If tired? Sleep. Simplify life

For example… What possessions do we truly need?

To question is zen… To question is mindfulness

Ask yourself why one would cling to worldly possessions

But let not a possession cloud ones mind either

Return to your breath upon every reflection

To let go of ones worldly attachments will end the suffering

With everything being impermanent, why attach?

Choosing to move on with mindfulness and peace

Think of others and what you may have to offer them for their needs

A childhood saying… Do unto others what you wish done unto you

And after that thought, we return to the breath once again…

In… and out…

Focusing on the breath, let your thoughts come and go,

Do not dwell on them

Let the thought go…

In… and out…

Red Gate

Solo ride to die, Im alive sliding through the matrix.

Awaked this rhyme replacement for fake shit.

Life can be basic and and at the same time amazing.

Got a few years sober and Im so glad I made it.

Im diciplined! I dismiss the liquids that slit your system.

Trying to function at the junction like some crucifixes.

No merit to inherit just building like pyramids.

I have a fear to live in a world that I can see as clear as this.

So I try. To meditate. I strive. To levitate.

You’d be surprised at what awaits.

Behind the Reddened gates.

So pass on through; say a prayer, be aware.

Reflections of self, the wisdom in the mirror.

Peace.

-Nina

If There Was Only Peace

I dream of a world where the youth can grow

Every answer is yes and the evil unknown

Rivers are healthy and so is the sky

Nobody worries about if we die

I dream that war is a mythical tale

Never experienced unthinkable hell

We dont eat meat; the animals are too sacred

At a certain age everyone is awakened

Two spirited and mental are no longer a flaw

In fact now they are given the medicinal jobs

I wake up this morning and bow on my knees

Oh this world… If Only There Was peace.
