Alphabet Meditation Verses: Q

Quiet like the water’s edge
receding with the tide,
let ego slip away, my soul;
let all its plans subside.

Melancholy like the moon
in its dark solitude,
accept what’s hard and lonely
in your path, and end your feud.

Gentle like the soft sand,
yielding without cease,
keep yielding to what comes, my soul,
so you may dwell in peace.
