I was in a thoughtful mood

Contemplating on here and now

Contemplating on bad and good

Seeking release but not knowing how

Contemplating for long I stood

 My head weighed with thoughts did bow

Forgetting any thoughts about food

Myriad thoughts fleeted in a row

Contemplating further I stood

Recalling all that I did know

But hardly ever understood

Awaiting fondly a path to show

Ah, I finally fully understood

Only the self I have to know!
