Talk To Yourself
They call it meditation.
Finding the silence, or at least,
A piece of peace.
It, using pictures, often language.
What a tool, this language thing
Born into time’s beginning.
I talk, inevitably landing in
A giving in, words running out.
I question, pray, request, inquire;
All require words, a chat,
And chat can prattle, babble, rattling on,
I even chew the fat.
It all turns into giving in.
We have a nice relationship, I and me.
One reflecting all I need.
You may call it God: That’s good. Importantly,
You should converse with brain
Again, again: a conversation
Heart-to heart. Mentioning
And giving in,
For in the end that’s all there is:
Your message will come forth.
