…from ‘Drifting Toward Light’
~Guitar ~

I have the body of a guitar.
When I lie down to meditate
my neck is straight
I clear my mind
of things I’ve fretted about
let go my strings of attachment.

I am a sound box
drawing in the songs of birds,
the pulsation of insects,
the gentle movement of breezes,
transforming the vibrations of nature
into meditation music.


I breathe in
breathe out
repeat the cycle
creating chords of calm
to lift me above the physical
resonating with riffs of bliss
tuned to perfection.
