Littleness.

 

 

Littleness.

 

Connecting with sky above and earth

below.

Eyes unfocused, I breathe in to relax
slowly
and regard with mindfulness all that
growing
at my feet which  seems deliberately 
flowing
toward some mystical shape-shifting
whole
momentum with inbuilt direction all  
its own.

Grass blades creak, restless leaves

blow.

Blooms alter hue as seasons change 

coats.

Soil heaves with action underneath

my nose.

Busyness continues in all miniscule

burrows.

I watch while slow gait locomotion

unfolds.

and as Tiny changes nature's great

poem

meditation on littleness delights my

soul.

Hi Stella - - yes I agree that we have much to learn from the littlest things under our feet -- so good to have your review and thank you ........ Seasons greetings to you and to yours dear friend.

The simplicity of even the smallest
of natures offerings seem to make
their own statements and presence known
as we take them all into view

Christmas Cheers
