Headstall's Reflections - 37. Chapter 37 Yoga For The Mind
Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 37 Yoga of the Mind
Take a phrase and bend it around
Creating a sigh without a sound
Fire up my synaptic whatchamacallit
To seek out words and make them fit
Downward facing, supine or prone
Flexing my muscles with keys alone
Intent on getting slippery karma across
A meditative state can prevent its loss
An unexpected insight is my goal
Like scrying from an ancient bowl
While others work to free up their spine
I focus on achieving the perfect line
Mental contortions deliver me peace
Each practiced move a euphoric release
Fluidity of thought reaches fingertips
Hydrating my soul with little sips
My sweat is words gained from exertion
There can be no vascularity with inertion
A workout can stretch for days and days
A lonely quest in search of better ways
To invent new worlds of make-believe
And let people see the threads I weave
With writing there is no finish line
At best a celebratory glass of wine
Before I embark on another journey
I see no end till I’m laid out on a gurney
