As If To As Is
Act "as if" you're patient.
Pretend your storm is calm.
Habits become the "as is."
Repeat the Sanskrit om.
Act "as if" you're loving.
Pretend your heart is warm.
Habits become the "as is."
Attain the higher form.
Act "as if" you're healthy.
Pretend your ill is gone.
Habits become the "as is."
Observe the brighter dawn.
Act "as if" you're gifted.
Pretend your wit is bright.
Habits become the "as is."
Practice the found insight.
Act "as if" you're sportive.
Pretend your skill is peak.
Habits become the "as is."
Parade the best technique.
Act "as if" you're gracious.
Pretend your mode is kind.
Habits become the "as is."
Display the style of mind.
