At The Hour’s Top
(Garden of Quiet)
Collab #1
In the Garden of Quiet, Garden of Thoughts,
There is no once and no when, only sloths.
The moment is here, the moment will rise:
Ten minutes no one here has to be wise.
First glance into silence, eternity lap,
A Moon in the swanlight – one way of the craft.
A flower of sunshine, a cloudless night,
Contagious soft glimmer we share inside.
Cool stars in the gyre, sky holds the breath,
Horizon’s so near, as close as thou let:
Immersing a guest in tranquility feast
That mind and body compose as we speak.
Earth’s flickering beauty in ball of realms, –
Embrace and descend into room when time comes.
Hats, jewels prepared, now set up your clock, –
At top of the hour, meet friends and your hopes.

MIRACULOUS MIT@2:50
MIT@2:50 is truly a blessing It empowers me to go ahead, blossoming and blooming It provides ten minutes of daily mindfulness Invoking optimism and thoughtfulness It kept me motivated in a period of uncertainty, Always filling me with joy and positivity Even now when the sun has risen, It is holding my hand, ready to empower and listen Relaxing music and serene pictures, Makes me delighted and is my pretty little treasure Blooming flowers, lush green forests, incessant rain, These sceneries make me calm and soothe my brain Cheerful and happy faces in the sessions make my day, Always keeping anxiety and stress at bay After attending the sessions, I experience felicity and peace, I whole-heartedly wish that these sessions never cease. After 365 days of mindfulness, it has turned one, I hope it continues to help the community for many years to come!
