Be busy at rest, allow your mind to still,
Remember times that caused your heart to sing;
Be gentle with yourself, be free.
Imagine the stories that the cloudy skies tell,
The pictures they form just to disperse again;
Be busy at rest, allow your mind to still.
Be at one with the birds, embrace their orchestral crescendo,
The rise and fall of the melody they create;
Be gentle with yourself, be free.
Let your mind float high on the breeze, like a feather,
Riding the thermals and obeying it's direction without question;
Be busy at rest, allow your mind to still
Be watchful, 'but careless', for what you see is not yours,
Not your problem to solve, not today;
Be gentle with yourself, be free.
And as you sit, in peaceful contemplation,
Deny any thoughts and embrace meditation;
Be busy at rest, allow your mind to still,
Be gentle with yourself, be free.
