Me and my mindfulness. My present thoughts, the sounds and feelings; a sort of deep meditation, whether standing or sitting down I am aware of the moment and sounds. Right now a wild wind is blowing outside, it is howling and screaming through the trees. But when it takes a rest there is deep silence, and a soft murmuring of background noises. I smell lavender from a candle burning, there is tranquility within my home. I like the feel of my work chair, the satin feel of the wood; there is a cold draft. Love this mindful, day within, me. ______________________ February 8, 2019 Poetry/Shape/Mindful of Moments Copyright Protected, ID 19- 1113-056-02 All Rights Reserved. Written under Pseudonym.

I like the way that the shape depicts the reflection of Spirit in Matter, just as the top half is spiritual concepts and thoughts -- Fire/Air and the bottom half is emotions and physical things -- Water/Earth. This is really ingeniously done, and packs a deep emotional warmth! Congratulations on your top win!

Written in a shape form. Shape poems do not have to take the form of the object it describes. This form is different than a concrete poem, in that a concrete poem takes the shape of the object it describes.
