In the early morning
before the daily rush
meditating in the outdoors
telling my mind to hush
Listening carefully
to the sounds outside
living in the moment
putting all fears aside
The birds are content
to sing a happy song
welcoming the new day
knowing they belong
Squirrels rustling
in the trees
content with life
having all they need
There is a sound
in the wind
weaving a song in the grass
notes as they bend
Contentment surrounds me
no comparisons at all
creatures living their lives
joyful and tall
Meditation over
time to go my way
contentment in my spirit
enjoying this beautiful day
