A secret palace

Meditation is key to handling stress.

Let go, release,

Let worries escape, enter bliss,

We drift further down, encased in protection,

The protection of our own mind

Further down we go,

No longer encumbered with anxiety,

This palace is beyond destination

Goals are no longer desires, but achievements

We reflect on our deeds,

Wholeheartedly contempt with who we are

In this state, we are complete

Stress is outside of our palace

Burdens of the past escape their tombs

We catch them, pursuit them, place them back in,

The past does not exist in here, no need to worry

We've learned from our mistakes, became stronger

Give the future no thought

The future is not of our concern in here

Live and flourish in the moment

In this moment, we are safe

But what of our return?

We must leave this world sometime,

Returning to the terrors of the outside,

But fear not ol' sprog

For this world will always exist within us,

Ready to open it's doors to its master

This is excellent and descriptive writing on mediation. My favorite stanza is:

"Give the future no thought
The future is not of our concern in here
Live and flourish in the moment
In this moment, we are safe"

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words! It's important to live in the moment and be thankful for what we have.
