Consistent: Sweeping Away

Another day
Of cleaning up,
Sorting through
The collection of
A lifetime,

No sorrow today,
Just progress,
Making way
For living;

Nothing to give away,
Only discarding,
Increasing the
Outer spaciousness;

Imposing order outside,
From inside;
Setting aside
And letting go;

Cultivating
A pleasant space,
Where I can sit
In peace,

In clean and open
Surroundings,
With a pleasing view,
Of all around.

Now to sitting
In a different way,
Surveying the change
Before settling down,

Then meditating,
Breathing steadily
And enjoying the legroom,
After the broom.
