Tranquility of the Mind Too Deserves a Chance

Written for Three Words Wednesday Prompt: Treasure, Gesture, Immediate


Tranquility of the Mind Too
Deserves a Chance


Somehow patience
Had slipped under my nose
Couldn’t grasp her
In my nerves
Which had, of late
Loosened up a bit
Every gesture showed
Restlessness in my mind
That always wanted
Things to happen
Immediately, lest
The moments too slipped
And I would often
Look at some others
In absolute awe
As they would move
Through each moment
Calmly and quietly
Cherishing every puff of wind
Listening to the music of
Each breath, letting
Sunbeams slowly
Kiss their faces , their ears
Picking up the sound of
Each magical footstep
While ambling through
The well-preserved
Treasures of wonderful
Memories from
A tranquil past
And deep contemplation
Made me realize that the real
Respectful gesture would be
To follow such gems
Of patience with
Immediate effect
To let the treasure house
Of my memories too
Become silent and serene
and for that I knew,
I would have to
Be quieter in the NOW
It is true that
It’s the restlessness of
An enquiring mind
That gives birth to Poems
For this space
But then tranquility
Of the mind too
Deserves a chance
Perhaps poems may come
Dressed in better garb
Glowing in the light
Of profounder meaning
Perhaps..
