The beauty surrounds
Not noticed by I,
Up in my head
Through my thoughts I do fly.
My body on auto
My head takes control,
Through thoughts never ending
My brain’s endless scroll.
Unbalanced I feel
As I notice my state,
A conscious upheaval
As my mind’s gears grate.
I notice my breath,
How I feel, what I’m thinking,
Shifting my feelings
With each thought that gets tweaking.
I note what I see,
What my feet have been touching,
My ego’s not happy
With my sudden affronting.
Yet it quiets
For safety is mine to decide,
Till I feel the Connection
And my heart swells with Pride.
Once again I’m returned,
Nice and warm in my human,
As the stories of Nature
My eyes do illumine.
