sitting amidst a peerless dawn

sitting amidst a peerless dawn,

opening to the myriad perceptions..

acknowledging the pain and discomfort.,

engaging with every shade and nuance,

the gentle light of daybreak

penetrates...

patiently absorbing the truth of the moment

stillness beckons,

self-absorption dissipates,

the truth of emptiness

prevails..

joy eternal and a pacific smile

engender peace of mind and body:

it simply does not matter

anymore...

I give obeisance with boundless gratitude,

and rise to face the day,

emboldened by the process

of faith,

and knowledge that the instant

is but passing..
