Being Mindful

calmness...  draws me outside
behind cardboard leaning against the screen
blocking out the sun's morning intensity
observing the serenity as if
in a state of meditation
overlooking the magnificence of nature
as she charms the animals to reside
within her boundaries yet not
offering to protect anymore
than she would protect herself;
calmness...  draws me to this point
and to the beginning of the day
where inside I will remain
protected and surrounded by life's
necessities none can do without
and when the time comes for me
to say goodbye to it all,
I will remember these gentle mornings
and how they allowed me to
begin my days in a peaceful way.
