of this of that

​the gift of everyday meditation
of quitting overreacting
of stopping using
of involving correcting
of opining ruling

of mastering emerging
and returning laughing
bemuses a keen reader
of philosophy
of poems

oh so
asserting an argument
of an ongoing equality, that
is what was meant
to take shape, no?

whatever the precise teaching
a heart softens with age, yes?
softens the edges here within
and mind melds with sage
intuition awareness intelligence

and an order written
in these redlined pages
keys to unknowing yet
knocking on doors beyond
reflection and recreation
