Rush: Morning Meditation

In the early morning
before the daily rush
meditating in the outdoors
telling my mind to hush

Listening carefully
to the sounds outside
living in the moment
putting all fears aside

The birds are content
to sing a happy song
welcoming the new day
knowing they belong

Squirrels rustling
in the trees
content with life
having all they need

There is a sound
in the wind
weaving a song in the grass
notes as they bend

Contentment surrounds me
no comparisons at all
creatures living their lives
joyful and tall

Meditation over
time to go my way
contentment in my spirit
enjoying this beautiful day
