I lay with eyes closed
listening to birds tweeting outside my window
and my little cat purring by my side.
Oh, at last I open my eyes and stretch
to a protesting meow from kitty making me smile.
I kiss her head and rise.
Inner warrior calls,
and I visualize me, a strong forest tree growing
my arms the branches reaching for sun.
With the raising of arms above, I just let go
and with my hands in prayer, I ask for courage
strength and serenity.
Now, sun salutations,
gracefully I move through the twelve postures.
Then, on my meditation mat I journey.
to a tranquil lake and tree with great mossy roots
and rocks beckoning for me, slowly it all fades.
And NOW, I am ready.
