83: The Art Of Chill

Have you found that thing
The one that calms your mind?
Have you found a sweet, sweet path
That leads you to fully unwind?

Do you have a ritual place
Like a favourite chair with a drink to hand?
Or do you find peace in nature
Communing with the spirit of the land?

Is it music that takes you home
When your head is over full?
Does it free your mind of clutter
To follow the rhythmic pull?

Do you run hard and fast
And make your body work?
Does getting hot and sweaty
Stop your mind going berserk?

Can you enter
This precious space at will?
Or do you play tricks on yourself
To achieve the sacred state of chill?

Maybe you haven’t found
The key to this secret door just yet.
Maybe you’re not even on the path
And constantly expect
Life to be a battle over rocky ground
Which of course it is...

Unless you learn how to fly and soar
Beyond the boundaries of your thoughts
You cannot find peace within this life
The way you really ought.

For life is a wonderful gift
your were lucky to receive
You will not be truly happy
Unless you are able to believe this.

Being grateful is the key
To opening that great barricade
As thankfulness is practised
So progress can be made.
