Meditation sounds like a good idea,
a good thing to do.
It might help clear the mind,
relax the spirit,
bring hope where there is none.
But, having never meditated,
I don’t know what to meditate on.
Should I think about the things I’d like to get rid of,
such as wild panic, undefined fear?
Or should I think about the spiritual things
I’d like to add to my life?
Or should I merely count numbers in sequence—
in Fibonacci sequence, always adding—
or sing one note to myself,
a note like “Om” or “I’m”?
Maybe one of those sounds is my mantra.
