Poem of the day

A minute or two

By Jacquline Munro

Let me just take a minute or two

Maybe to reflect

The things I’m going through

Yes let me stop and breath

Take in the motions that are real

Understand the complexity

Over-stand the simplicity

Of the spiritual side of me

Appreciating without debating

Why or how this could

Should

Or maybe why me

Not analysing life’s tragedy

As it is what it is

And I will still praise

The almighty who always forgives

Let me take out a minute or two

To appreciate who I am

As the I am

Is forgotten wrapped up in life’s monstrosity

which blocks the universal outreach

To hear the heart beat

To hear the breath we take

To hear the silence when the morning breaks

To hear the inner me

Not the radio

Not the television

Not the mobile phone

Distraction which is so judgementally appeased 

Meaning nothing

To my inner home

Which we can only touch base

When we are on our own

Let me take a minute or two

And give thanks and praise

          To the real me
