Inventing a ritual
to calm my wayward emotions
feeling the need to recharge
with daily devotion
Sitting on the porch
with water flowing in a fountain
promoting peace and tranquility
streaming from an emotional mountain
Closing my eyes
letting go of all pain
watching flow into a river
so much to gain
Next letting go of anger
and all of its stress
little red rapids
no more distress
Feeling a smile
happiness and contentment remain
opening my eyes to the sun
with a new perspective that reigns
Meditation over
listening to the birds sing
the journey continues
time to spread my wings

I could get on board with a ritual such as this, if it was yearly. Maybe a little more often.
