Going with the Flow

In the rhythm
the gentle pace
that is meant to be
the presence
the here and now.

Not even thinking
just feeling
and using your emotions.
Slowly
Gently
Calmly
And still reaching your destination.

Moving
Floating
in a dreamlike state
but still aware.

No particular purpose
just the being.
Very serene
and status quo.
Not even asking questions.
Not even alert.
Just there.

All over my body
and in each part.
Understanding
that to be like this
is wonderful.
Not just a great start to the day.
Only beautiful
to feel like this.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "Going with the Flow" effectively captures the essence of being present in the moment and embracing a serene state of mind. The use of gentle imagery and rhythmic flow contributes to the overall calming effect of the poem. However, there are areas where the poem could be strengthened. Consider incorporating more vivid and specific sensory details to enhance the reader's experience and deepen the emotional impact of the poem. Additionally, exploring the theme of purpose or reflection further could add layers of complexity to the poem and engage the reader on a deeper level. Overall, continue to build upon the foundation of tranquility and mindfulness established in the poem to create a more immersive and resonant piece.
