Littleness.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

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.

    A fine meditation Fay.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Good to read that you like the meditation on the value of smallness my friend.

    • Alan .S. Jeeves

      This is a very special poem I think Fay. 'Grass blades creak' (why didn't I think of that?) A must for one of my Fayves if I may.

      Thank you
      Ex animo, Alan

            I truly agree dear Andy - - there is nothing better to lift the spirit when we feel a bit down.

            The little things, indeed. Still appreciate the way you weave words.
