Zen
I am beating my heart
playing it cool
taking a breath
giving it back
conscious unconscious
I have opened my eyes
cut loose from my past
free of the itch
I am bobbing afloat
caught in the flow
riding the waves
part of the whole
out of control
unmagnitized
I am right
I am wrong
inside & out
throbbing with life
I spin with the earth
nothing exists
all things are one
taking a breath
giving it back
beating my heart
I am playing it
cool
Zen
