Mindfulness Poetry
Sight - Trees
look up to the clear blue skies
see the wind blow through the trees
leaves rustling gently
with the gentle breeze
look upon the branches
growing from the trunk
bending, twisting, longer
bark all along
See the shape of the leaves
each of them unique
varying in colour
as they grow up from the tree
observe the wind as it blows
the tree bends and sways
leaves carried upon the breeze
floating far away
watch the leaves as they change
and fall upon the ground
coloured orange, yellow, brown
making room for more to grow
branches become empty
as summer turns to fall
then again they grow
as winter turns to spring
an ever changing pattern
that we can too observe
watching through the seasons
watching as they grow

Ok, so these next few are focusing on emotions, so mindfulness of emotion
it's something new that i'm trying and I would really appreciate feedback please :)
Emotion - Joy
Think upon a pleasant time
One that brought you joy
Let the emotion bubble up
Fill you once again
Think about how you felt
What made you feel that way
See the image in your mind
Explore it once again
What do you remember
As you look upon the scene
Draw upon your senses
Explore what once had been
Be within that moment
Reliving it once more
Smile as you think upon it
Peace within your soul
Look around within that scene
Focus on each sense
What you feel, hear and smell
Is there anything you can taste
Come back from in that moment
To where you are right now
Think upon this place
Breathing in and out
Emotion - Peace
Think upon a river
Watching leaves upon a stream
Thoughts going in and out
Leaving the thoughts be
Watch the leaves upon the water
Your thoughts written on the leaves
Flowing down the river
Setting each thought free
Don't hold on for long
The leaves in and out of view
Let your mind become the river
Peace washing over you
Watching thoughts come and go
In and out of view
They don't get caught on any rocks
Just flowing on the stream
Hear the water gently
Carry your thoughts away
Nothing unexpected
To stop the leaves float away
Come back into this moment
Within this time and place
Mind now clearly focused
Feel that sense of peace
Emotion - Excitement
Think upon your favourite thing
That you'd wait forever for
What happens to your body
Sensations that arise
Imagine you're in that moment
So close you can hardly breathe
Excitement fills your body
Thoughts race happily
Let that moment fill you
As you hold on a little more
Heart beats a little faster
Blood pumping through
Then you're in that moment
The excitement justified
Responding appropriately
However that may be
Sit within that feeling
Being there right now
Heart still beating fast
Blood rushing around
Now come back within this moment
Within this space and time
Sit within this room
Breathing calming down
