Flowing

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Gogyohka

.

Thoughts flowing from one idea to the next

resting gently on each

before moving on ~ butterfly

Feeling the sun’s rays passing through cloud

gathering moisture on the way

.

Hair

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Gogyohka

.

Wind

sweeping hair in beautiful ways

waves ~ rippling ~ dancing

thrown by the wind

carefree

.

Sea Passion

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Gogyohka

.

A mile away ~ the sounds of the sea

passionately kissing the rocks

Memories of times past

flow around me

Echo from the hills

.

Patterns

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Gogyohka

.

Rain had fallen in the night

now sheets of water lie on the road

The wind draws patterns

~ lines ~ arcs ~ random crossings ~

on the surface

.

Wind

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Gogyohka

.

Bird feeder swinging excitedly

difficult to tell if it the wind

or hungry birds

or maybe

both

.

Writing

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Haikū

.

Writing in the night

Songs of Love pour from my pen

Full Moon watches me

.

Springs

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Haikū

.

Springs rising ~ form streams

Rain on saturated ground

water flows below

.

Same Old Same Old

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Gogyohka

.

Daily patterns are often so similar

that days flow and blend

merging with one another

… Until …

an event stands out above the 0thers … waking

.

Water

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Gogyohka

.

Collecting drinking water from the chute

feeling invisible pinprick touches

of ice across my face

… hearing the stream welcoming me back …

as I stand and accept the fast-flowing water

.

Sounds

.

#mindfulwriting #aros #Gogyohka

.

Walking

Listening to the sounds around me

In the distance

I hear

A woodpecker drumming
