A New Room

I've been thinking about a new room.

An empty room with sunlight as the only furnishing.

Windows will open or close at a touch.

 

Oh, all right: a chair.

I'll give it a chair,

small and wooden.

Not too hard and not too soft.

A chair Goldilocks would accept.

 

A floor cushion and a lotus posture

are no longer options for me.

I sit my own way:

straight but relaxed.

Alert.

Thoughts drifting

until the leash of mindfulness

tugs them back to what is—

back to my light-filled empty room

so receptive to what may come.
