Daft: Mind Banter

Scattered mind,
All over the place,
Can’t stay focused,
Can’t stay still,

Restlessness and aversion,
Fretting and clinging
And feeling so ill,
Such heat and chill,

Bad cold gone worse,
Sapping energy,
Making every task
A sniffling chore;

Meditation so difficult to do
When the mind is preoccupied,
And the body is unwell,
I could hardly wait for the bell!

Then went on with
Other jobs,
But it was mostly
A poorly remembered blah, blah,

Head full of cotton,
Migraine confusion and pain,
Forgot what I was doing
And was late completing everything;

Late going to bed,
Late getting to sleep,
Too many cold remedies,
Too many awakenings;

Distressing, certainly, dreadful even,
How to stop clinging to this?
Well, surprisingly easily!
How accomplished?
Not sure really!
