Morning Motoring in the Mind and Moment

Morning Motoring in the Mind and Moment

 

While driving early this morn

A familiar sight emerged again,

In the car and

In the mind.

The sun shone,

A scene unveiled,

But

The mind clattered on

In its own

Gobbledy-gook and dumblety-dum

Gibbery-gibberish and bumbley-bum of

Thoughts-fears-events-memories-ideas-blah!

Then,

From my peripheral vision,

A vista formed

Upon the retina

Of the eye

And soul:

A thin veil of mist

Rested,

Like a gentle caress,

Upon the land.

Embracing trees

In its delicate fold,

Meeting the dew-damp earth,

Mist held

Suspense

Of air

And presence too,

As I gaped upon

What I saw

And,

For those minute moments,

The monotony of mind machinations

   Were stilled,

         Stopped,

               Present,

To the now,

And the scene

On the way.

    1. Thanks 😊 I know reading other poets helps too. I think you know one or two. Poetry can be such a source of help to focus and centre us on those days when we just seem to be caught up and fixated on stuff going on inside us.

  1. “Present to the now and the scene on the way.” Most excellent poem and reminder. I truly try to live in this reality: present to the now.

Daydreaming and then, maybe, writing a poem about it. And that's my life.
