Wildflower Meditations
Slow down, or you'll miss it
The rhythmic sound of footfalls on the walk
The whirring buzz of cars flying past
The sound of voices rising and falling as they talk
A world rushing--for me, much too fast
But my eyes are looking all around
Taking in the beauty of the day
And if they chance to sweep across the ground
You'll likely see me pause before going on my way
To crouch closer, a camera adjusted now to zoom
On tiny petals in every tone and hue
Bright pops of color bursting into bloom
A meditation that feels made for you.
