makes the goldenrod
in the meadow glow.
Silvery green leaves
on the branches
above my head
flickering and waving
steadily.
Grey little birds going
branch to branch to branch.
All this dawns on me
when I finally calm down
enough to notice.
These days it isn't easy
to relax. I spend a lot of
time trying to slow my
breath down to a crawl.
Today, it took my husband
laying a gentle hand on
my back to begin my
melting.
Then the chanting helps
because it gets me closer
to the God of each moment.
All I can do is write here
a thank you poem grateful
that I finally settled into the
slow.
Words once again are melting
and elevating me all at once.
Today I will be as calm as I can be.
Just keep coming back to the now.
