"Watching the water ripple in the pond put the boy into a meditative state."

I am in a meditative mood: instead of *doing*, I will sit and watch my thoughts and emotions.

A meditative poem is any poem which helps to bring you closer to yourself, to silence, to self-awareness.

Perhaps the best example of a meditative poet is Rumi, a Sufi mystic. Try his short poems.

To be meditative. Absorbed in thought.

Any act can be done in a meditative way: washing dishes, walking, painting a wall. Wax on, wax off, young grasshopper.
