mantras

mantras

i have so many mantras
for the morning,
i’m having to get up
earlier, and
earlier.

it’s all about
positive thinking.

i’m positive
i am thinking
too much.

‘don’t cling’

some days,
clinging on
is triumph enough.

‘be in the moment’

i am.
still there,
days later.

‘i am happy,
contented; all that
i need, comes
easily to me’

and i am.

and i almost am.

and not always
it would seem,
for it doesn’t care,
to be hurried.

i have taken
2 ½ minutes
from each hour of the day.

glued them together
as an extra hour.
which i use
to write poetry,

about mantras,
in the time,
i have so many mantras
for the morning…
