Mindfulness

Lost in consciousness, 
sublimely aware of the dust motes 
that saccade my sight, as they 
tenderly frolic amongst the remnant
of sunlight that streams through 
my window pane.
Gentle the whispers of the wind
that kiss the glass; how distinct 
the cawing of the raven perched 
upon the window's edge. 
How crisp the turbid air, 
with its frosty demeanour, 
clasping my hands in an icy grip. 
What thick musk
provokes my senses,
creating a palpable taste 
upon my palate. 
Within such deep consciousness,
I shall allow my whole self
to wager intrepidly 
into the sensual storm of creation's
intricacy and intimacy. 
That I may recall with reverence
that we were once one.

Thankyou Tom. Indeed nature can often calm what can be an anxious and high speed world. Have a wonderful New Year! All the best, Charlotte
