greeting the morning
the little frog sits on the round flat lily leaf, gently undulating
watching the water rings expand and pan out .....
sunrise glistens ‘tween the hills, and suffuses the rising mist
the intermittent song of the small bird sings out
water laps the lake surface ever so gently
the peace of the waking morning introducing the day
while the little frog sits gloating in the sun
mesmerised with warmth
the light twinkles across the gently flowing water
there is an increasing invitation to join in this day
but, in beginning in stripping yourself of doing, and
in the rotund laughing buddha’s style just ‘be’
with stillness, sit in the moment
and let the day take shape around you
let the birth of the day caress your senses
like the frog, let the sun honour your body
let the warmth spread throughout your being, until it permeates your mind
feel your soul breathe in this energy of peace
let the content and peaceful smile crease your relaxed face
watch the shadows slowly move across the land
and the waft of the breeze entice the leaves
feel your expansion, as you experience holding each outer form and happening as part of yourself,
knowing too, each form holds you within itself
the macrocosm and the microcosm
and then that little frog opens his eyes and sees you, and
in that moment, his world has changed
and the day moves forward
but, the morning’s blessing never forgotten …….

This is beautiful
Just how I feel when I'm in the woods...
When I read this I got completely caught up in the moment...
This is a wonderful poem it is as though I was sitting there and it all came to life
Wonderfully done
Hugs,

Thank you for your comments ladies.
And sol-o : I agree, daily reality often makes this unattainable, but that doesn't make it any less sweeter !
Glad I could transport you all, even if for a second.
