Sitting in silence
listening to my breath
without a thought of regret
my mind wanders
to the term “vessel”
I realize in this moment
that’s what makes me tangible
it houses my soul
it houses my mind
in this thought I’m aware of time
not in the societal sense
but in physical birth, growth, aging and death
Another thought kept passing through
lyrics that I love to listen to
“know what I want, know what I can get…”
and I’m reminded only physical limitations can be set
in this life I’m really well off
with a strong mind and an interior so soft.
