Meditation

Meditate. 

Wait. I hesitate, 

I can vacillate, translate, inflate, 

celebrate, masticate, conjugate… 

But meditate? 

When I wake my mind skates 

straight to figure eights. I cannot sate 

the breakneck gait. 

Meditate? 

It’s some mistake. 

Wait. Intake breath, deflate. 

Thoughts abate, calm, sedate. 

God awaits. 

Relate.
