mindful: focusing ones awareness on the present moment


glory

worship wasted
(or) wasted worship
more than three notes
(and) countless hours
spent tracing the invisible lines
of pleasure in your body
how many seconds
comprise the moans
and goosebumps
across the landscape
bronzed and burnished
the golden dunes
i revel within each day
my ra
the first
to be worshipped
