FUTURE OF MINE
I wake up this morning
After bathing in lengthy sleep
Slowly opening my eyes
To the sweet luxury of coffee
Step outside to birds and insects
They chirp and tweet cacophony
Hear the Woodpecker peck
Her presence here is new to me
Sip away at awareness
Watch industrious black ants
Rolling through the fire pit
Turned gray by it's ash
Caught up in the notion
I'm free to do what I want
No obligations this morning
Least I can't think of one
Review the memory of a face
I’ve seen in the the ether
My constant inclination
I just can’t wait to meet her
Still this stillness consumes me
Hear as planes fly away
Watch the flights of the vultures
And Eagle search for its prey
Dragonfly whizzes passed me
Roadrunner's off in the distance
Roadrunner gets what she wants
With patience and persistence
Feel the message she shares
In the routine of her dance
Her every movement is sacred
Just like the path of these ants
I feel that message within me
That I should live in intention
Put my focus where I find it
And give it all my attention
Finally know what I want
And where I'd like to share my time
I'm in love with all the details
In this future of mine
