Morning Observation

The dew glistens and sparkles 
as the sun streaks across the grass. 
The trees are illuminated 
as if in a spotlight from the sky. 
Morning sounds of traffic and the birds 
compete to be heard,
as the squirrels scurry around, 
foraging for food.

The Sun lifts its head, 
warming my face 
as I walk quietly and slowly, 
inhaling the sights and sounds,
letting them sink into my skin,
nourish my soul,
calm my mind
and bring balance to my body. 

If we open our eyes and ears, 
we can find the beauty and joy in nature
amidst the bustle of the world. 

Inspiration finds me again

I have taken a long break from posting and writing. My life got hectic and I didn't take as much time to reflect and contemplate. I am back to getting in balance and nurturing myself. The poetry flows when I am taking care of myself. The yoga, walking and meditation have increased again, which always centers me and allows my creative side to flourish. It feels great to be getting back in touch with my soul. It has been patient in waiting for me to connect with it again.
