mindfulness
gulls wheeling overhead,
their cries mingling with the sound
of waves lapping at the shore
cormorants diving,
surfacing downstream,
carried by the current
a great blue heron raising
its head, its catch grasped
firmly in its bill
a soft breeze coming
off the water, a mild caress,
warm day or cool
beside the river
or upon it,
and my mind is at ease
The prompt for Poetics: Purifying the Mind, from Linda at dVerse, is to write a poem regarding mindfulness.
