As I wake

And life seems glum

I take a seat

basking in the morning sun

Feelings of defeat

I've Overcome

For victory lies in the new day

Over the man of yesterday

I use to be.

I close my eyes

As I feel the warmth of the sun

With the wind flowing through my fingers

Like water

Caressing my skin like tides of the ocean

I sense that which surrounds me

Radiating energy from far and wide

With echos of birds in the distance

I focus on my breathe

Just for a instant

With each inhale

A cool sensation

I lighten in contemplation

Each situation

Mine for the taking

And each exhale

Whispers of warmth

On my lips

Radiating

As I open my eyes to

The Golden World before me

Komorebi

And Joy enlightenments me

Until the pressures of life

Overpowers the peace

I seek

Until the Golden World

Becomes a permanent part of me...
