Life's Moments

kiranjoshi9

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed

After a moment of peace, same old beaten thoughts took over.

Opened the window shade

The Bird of Paradise swayed gaily outside

The sun still rose

The thoughts subsided momentarily

As the shade was lifted.

 

Got in the car

Same old thoughts got me down.

Until a man crossed the road with his little dog

When the dog veered off the path

He pulled him back.

That is the way to train the mind

Like a little puppy

With love, bring it back to the moment at hand.

 

Drove down the road

Let others cut in

Sent a silent prayer to a stranger on the sidewalk

Saw sun and fog alternate the path.

 

The fog of my mind alternated too

As I envisioned the Bird of Paradise

The dog being pulled back

And as the sun shined.
