Day 6 asked that we search for a poem in another language, absorb the ‘sound and shape of the words’ and use this as a basis for a poem. https://www.napowrimo.net/day-six-10/
Here is my offering:
How to Be
In this world, always be you
I say to myself.
Pause often
to observe what arises.
Be aware, keeping a gentle
gaze upon someone’s smouldering eye.
Let arising thoughts float
by like clouds in the sky.
Drink deeply to nourish
your body-mind and soul.
You are infinite, everlasting
and real, your true self.
Don’t say ‘I am scared’,
just breathe and Be.
