Body upright, head up high
Soaring, searching the beautiful sky
Inhale deeply yet exhale gently
Relax my body, free the mind
Calmness penetrates my flesh and bones
Storms arise every now and then
Cease them, focus till the end
Energy of Saṅgha comes again
Observe thoughts, and images of mind
Accepting all with the loving eye
Heart softens to loving kindness
Meditate...meditate…for mindfulness
Now gentle chanting echoes so
Provide strength, and make me bold
Melody never heard, yet is known
Ultimate peace for the soul
