Crazy morning,
Running wild.
Within the storm,
Can mind stay calm?

Silent running,
Thru the darkness
Into daybreak.

Footstep’s firm,
Breath is steady,
Mind is calm.

Just here… just now.

Early Sunday,
Body awake…
Brain still cuddled
On my pillow.

Awareness fail…

Tiny cricket in the darkness.
Your soft and gentle song,
Kindly whispers in my ear,
— “Be here, be now”

The sound of thunder
From the steel-gray sky.
What a marvelous
And simple thing.

Morning air,
Scent of wet earth
After a night
Of rain.

Last star peeking
Thru my window.
A shiny dot
On deep blue sky.
Mind settles,
All is calm.

Chilly morning air
Brings my mind back home.
A trio of purring cats
Fills my heart
With joy.

Lazy, cloudy Sunday.

Hollow mind,
Hollow thoughts,
Just a dream
Of being ‘me.’
