I attended and volunteered a literary event called Compose today and I listened to four amazing people.
Trista Cornelius, Robin Vada, Nicole J. Georges, and Rafael Alvarez. Thanks to the the first two,
through meditation, I was able to easily come up with a new poem.
I highly recommend!

Creative Meditation

I feel a weakness in my shoulders
That anchors me
There's a stirring in my stomach
I seek nourishment
There's a strong feeling in my loins
I must have pleasure
My eyelids are heavy
My stomach is empty
The pain in my spine gets no attention
Slack-jawed, I write
My state calmer than
Pink Floyd could grant
Sleep calls to me from my bed
My prickling skin beckons
Keeping me awake
I will never forget this
There's music in my head
Upbeat and sweet sounding
I am happy
I am hungry
I am at peace

  1. I'm amazed at how polished this is with only a few minutes to write! I also wanted to tell you that I related to what you said about visual art versus writing ... that often there's less resistance to drawing/visual art. I'm just now starting to explore this same phenomenon in my creative work. So great to meet you at Compose!
