The Revolution Begins Within

In the silent breath, a whispered wind of change, a seed of calm in the wild, restless range.

Mindfulness, is a gentle, yet potent art, unveiling the canvas of the heart.

With each inhale, a world anew, serene, with each exhale, shedding what’s been.

A revolution, not in streets, but within.

Eyes closed, yet seeing more than ever before,

Ears open to life’s unspoken lore.

In this moment, nothing else exists, just the journey of inner trysts.

Mindful steps on a path so subtle, crossing rivers of thought, a tranquil shuttle.

A revolution of peace, of inner might, turning darkness gently into light.

No banners waved, no loud cries, Just the soul’s quiet, profound rise.

In the depths of the self, a world explored —

Mindfulness, the silent, mighty sword.

In the heart’s chamber, a transformation, a journey of self-realization.

From the chaos, a harmonious nation, mindfulness, the seed of an inner revolution.
