A Lunch Time Meditation


Enjoying my lunch

listening to the water flow

contemplating the spiritual realm

taking thoughts slow


Trusting my intuition

that life is not a dream

flowing like the water

implying time is a stream


Moving in a rhythm

beginning with trickling rain

slow and steady

bubbling like champagne


Drifting in a calm moment

suddenly going over a hill

life falls into the rapids

oh what a thrill


Swishing along

left and then to the right

anticipating what comes next

enough to excite


Out of the rapids

life gives us a break

an afternoon slumber

till a stone jolts us awake


Life’s rhythm

continues to circle

providing crevices and rapids to explore

another glimpse into the eternal


Meditation over

enjoying the sweet smell of a rain mist

a rainbow shines in the sun

rain drops sparkle on my face with bliss

  1. Your water analogy allows for …

    c) Water never apologizes.
    d) Rain allows water to come full circle.
