Slow down, listen and be mindful of your surroundings. They are free entertainment 🌸

Heat from the sun on my thighs,

Tingling skin not yet been exposed.

Move limbs into the shade before the burn,

So tired, can’t move at all, ten more minutes.

🌞

Skylarks chirruping so high I cannot see them,

The leaves move in whispers in the poplar.

A hum close to me, closer still. A flaunting bee.

The squawk of a distant pheasant,

🐝

The blue skies are vast when unpunctured by cloud,

A glass of water warming steadily,

If I roll over I can read. But sometimes doing nothing,

Just being, just listening, is so cathartic and beautiful.
