The Broken Rhythm

Calm waters, slightly stirred, Practice missed, routine deferred. Thoughts like ripples, come and go, Inner peace, a gentle flow. Doubt whispers, softly fades, Serenity's not lost, just delayed. Between the breaths of now and then, Kindness helps us start again. One day paused, or even more, Doesn't erase what came before. In this moment, we're still whole, Compassion soothes the restless soul. Expectations, we release, Future's path, a gentle ease. Balance bends but doesn't break, In silence, new resolve we make. One day paused, or even more, Doesn't erase what came before. In this moment, we're still whole, Compassion soothes the restless soul. Through life's fog, we find our way, Accepting each imperfect day. Breath by breath, we gently be, Embracing inconsistency. One day paused, or even more, Doesn't erase what came before. In this moment, we're still whole, Compassion soothes the restless soul. Tomorrow comes, a fresh new start, To realign both mind and heart. Meditation's path is kind, Forgiving lapses, peace we find. Self-compassion lights the way, Guiding us from day to day. One missed sit won't set us back, Our inner calm remains intact.
