As Peace

July 25, 2017

Acknowledging the things
one might ache for
or ward against,

detaching enough
to see that want
and, or aversion
was destroying any chance
at tranquility,

realizing acceptance,
when it delicately settles
on the apex between extremes,
as peace

Algorithms

An algorithm
controls your life,
This “love”
is numbers
playing with your mind
With constant coincidences
and real life imitating fiction
It is stranger still

To fix the insanity
Of mind control
We take a pill
-the screen flips-
And we wonder
Just how much
Of everything
Is real

Center

Churning
Incessantly
Anxious
Jolts
Of adrenaline
Fill my empty  moments
And I know
I have drifted

And I shuffle
Reaching
For the familiarity
Of an anchor
Now shifting
Aware

Again aiming
for center

Because of Thinking

April 12, 2017

I think of living
Of feeling
Of breathing

I think of time
Of past and future
Of present

I think of stopping
of  going

I think of maybes
of hope

I think of ups
Of downs

I think of you
Of me

And I think

I think about thinking
I think and therefore know
I am
still

And I am thankful

For all the things of which I think
Because of them
I am
