Meditated / Not Medicated

Concerted efforts to concentrate my focus failed
My thoughts were scattered across clouds
Finding images & faces in the cumulous shapes
Dissolving and coming together again, ever changing
Only imaginings and scenarios to capture my distorted logic

Closing the shades
I sought answers in the dark
They' would not come

The inner monologue ceased.
Only the beat and pulse of blood kept time with my heart.
I thought, "Should, that I stop, So too my heart".

I found peace in the absence of white static noise
Quietude in dialing down the inner lecture
Rather than putting words to all that I observed
Only the chug and clack of wheels on rails remained
Rhythms symbiotic with my true self
Saved me from my own thoughts.
