"A Gathering of Thoughts" by Pryam Bann
"A Gathering of Thoughts"
Switching on the tv
Attention is given to the
rules and regulations
As we navigate thru times
of a harsh reaity
Covid-19
My mind follows a path
I see Harry Potter's World
Where in it the name of Lord Voldemort's may not be spoken
because of the intense fear felt by all
Must this virus be feared to the point of hording groceries and toilet paper
Imagining myself in the eye of a hurricane
I observe chaos
The mind wishes to hush the voices of uncertainty
Fear takes ahold of my body and shakes it like a rag doll
It becomes difficult to breathe and a helpless feeling of loosing my footings boggles the mind
The heart knows
This emotion must be soothed
Closing my eyes thoughts focus on healing energy
A serene Vista appears and I see a sliver of light
Thoughts becoming purposeful and hope brightens the light
I will do my little part
Nourishment is necessary and so I indulge with a compassionate awareness to be kind to others
The energy of fear is washed away by the work to be done during this reign of pandemonium
Change must not be looked at with fear
But with a sense of adventure
About the Author:
Originally from Trinidad, resides in Quebec Canada. She was a wife, is a mother and a grandmother. She has always been drawn to the arts and is a self-taught artist and writer. Her purpose is to learn how to be a better human-being today, so she can teach it when the opportunity presents itself tomorrow. She lives in a state of grace and gratitude for all of life's lessons. Her experiences of pain and suffering have cracked open the imagination and creativity of her soul. As a child her father would spend his Sundays taking her and her sisters on hikes along rivers in Trinidad. It was always a peaceful and rejuvenating time for her. She instinctively felt a connection with an energy of infinite love and to trust that pain and suffering is only a temporary inconvenience. So out of this truth came her book called "The Silent Teachers."
