“A Meditation on Being,” A Reverse #Cinquain

Posted on May 12, 2018 by Colleen M. Chesebro

This is my contribution to my Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge where we use synonyms for the prompt words when we write our poetry. This week, I used “harmonize” for belong and “desire” for dream.

Desire –
a meditation on being
harmonize your thinking
live this moment
fulfilled

A reverse Cinquain is a form with one 5-line stanza in a syllabic pattern of two, eight, six, four, two.

Sitting meditating in nature. How long ago is that… You make me aware of how busy my life has become with all the changes in it and my work. I don’t want it any different but I need to change some priorities.

  Oh, we all need a reminder, don’t we? If I don’t meditate regularly, I feel a difference. I have to make the time for me. Think of it that way. You deserve it so take care of you. Remember the reasons for your decisions and it will all come back to you. 😍❤️

A good thought for meditation. I love the image, too – did you design it yourself? If not, where did you find it?

  Hi, Annabelle. Most of my photos come from Pixabay.com. Search fantasy and you should find great images. ❤️
