[Poem] Meditation

I sit in silence, still and calm,

My mind a blank, my thoughts untethered.

I breathe in deeply, slowly,

Exhaling all my worries and stress.

 

I focus on my breath, the rise and fall

Of my chest, the cool air entering,

The warm air leaving.

 

I am aware of my body,

From the top of my head to the tips of my toes.

I feel the weight of my body on the chair,

The touch of my clothes against my skin.

 

I am present in the moment,

Not thinking about the past or the future.

I am simply here, now.

 

This is meditation.

 

This is peace.
