38.Float "Child like"

Poem n Video by pal. Every one's struggle; Is to reach back This pure child mind; Unpolluted n beyond conscious.

 

Float “Child like”

 

A grand event

All kith n kin gathered

A birth day celebration

Of the youngest in the family

 

Invitees were mostly children

Some more time to wait

For singing chorus

“Happy birth day to you”

 

I watched them all

A state of restlessness

A great rush for movement

A desire to experience all

 

Wanting to have some fun

Called them to attention

Inviting them for a play

With a reward a dollar each

 

All I wanted from them

“Just sit in silence”

A minute not more

N win that dollar

 

A dozen heads

Sitting in silence

My eyes on clock

Seconds tick away

 

10... 15... 20 n 25...

Unable to sit, one, then another

Yet another, jumped out

45 on clock none on floor

 

Watch children!

Bubbling with energy

N simply living

Enjoying every moment

 

Child’s nature

Inattentive n unfocussed

Hopping from thoughts

One after another

 

A child is let free

Parents aren’t around

They are in fact break

Free flow of mind

 

Every one’s struggle

Is to reach back

This pure child mind

Unpolluted n beyond conscious

[Pema Dorje]

... plain and simple in tune with Nature and circumstance; spontaneous joy and veritable action neither attracted 'nor repelled, neither future beckoned 'nor past compelled, with a Heart full of juice and a mind like fire, taking us higher and higher ... a wondrous write of a beautiful observation, Pal

[C. Harter Amos]

Such an enjoyable poem. I read through it, watched your video, and then read through the poem again. You describe children in such a playful, truthful way that I had to smile as I read through it. The video is sweet and well done as well. "Every one's struggle is to reach back to this pure child mind; unpolluted and beyond conscious". Very profound thought said in simplest straight-forward words.
