small stones 1.31.2013

tall trees gently wave arms high in the air,
swaying back and forth in unison --
while growling gusts of wind
furiously flap the flag on the pole.

 ------

heavy winds: 
blades of the turbine spin so fast
they can't be seen.

 ------

geese in the air
fight to stay on course
like drunks walking the line.

 ------

baby swing on the tree branch 
flies back and forth -- 
empty but for the wind.



[Today is the last day of the January 2013 Mindful Writing Challenge. I have enjoyed the experience of this practice each day this month. Today's finale was a windy one, for sure... and it wasn't enough to just write one small stone. These are all things seen on my drive to and from my son's school this morning for drop-off. Thanks to Satya and Kaspa for the inspiration. I plan to try to keep this awareness and practice going.]
