Guiding light. – Nina
Sedative poetry for meditating
Allow its resignating
In your psyche’
Designed effects: deep breaths n closing eyelids
It’s you and I
Mellow your senses, light candles or incences
Again; return to the breath and remain centred
Clear your mind, it’s only your breath
Vision a bright light, now concentrate on its depth
Breathing like calming ocean tides
These spoken rhymes a guide
To relax or open minds
Sending you to your to splendor
Which is… whatever you desire.
Nina

Journey. – Nina
Life is like a sort of journey
But I have no fixed plans on arrival
No control I depart into unknown
Encircled aura of protection surroundings me
Unafraid, unscathed casting rays of light
Travelling in music and in the subconscious flight
In reality; departing norm and taking many forms
Crossing bridges and borders, water space and time
Luminous calm and ease, feeling the breeze
Feeling the earths magnetic pull and vibrations
Every step takes me “that” much closer
Every moment in each moment leading me to a single moment
Hold it…
A point in time similar to a Destiny
But It’s my own recipe
Law of attractions; I’m creating reactions
Now what’s next for me?
Teacup. A zen story.
Ikkyu, the Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked: “Why do people have to die?”
“This is natural,” explained the older man. “Everything has to die and has just so long to live.”
Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added: “It was time for your cup to die.”
The Problem with Introspection…
“The problem with introspection is that it has no end.”

In my cell… – Nina
The door closes behind me*
6 x 6 walls
with a Plastic Bed
Steel toilet
For some…
This is the last stop
Souls pass through here often
Cold and lonesome
Time is a killer
Daunting me
Then I remembered…
Freedom isn’t “Out There,”.
It’s “In here.”…
My spirit rising
Lifting
No one can see my smile
Nobody knows that I closed my eyes
Left this place
The cell is quiet…
Dead
But not me.
I’m Free
And “You” can be free
anytime.
Anytime…
-Nina
