What is a Mindfulness Poem?
this poem is a mindfulness poem
but only if you are really here
only if you are really attentive
only if you are paying attention
to all that this poem is offering
not what is going
to happen tomorrow
or what happened
in the distant past
this is all we have
this here now THIS
like a toddler
holding up a toy
to show Mommy
making a noise
until Mom acknowledges
that it is what it is
this is that same poem
but only if you are really here
only if you are really attentive
only if you are paying attention
to all that this poem is offering
not what is going
to happen tomorrow
or what happened
in the distant past
this is all we have
this here now THIS
like a toddler
holding up a toy
to show Mommy
making a noise
until Mom acknowledges
that it is what it is
this is that same poem
