Wonder Of Contemplation Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sitting on banks of the Delaware river once upon a time
when much younger, watching the water flow by, ducks
floating downstream nonplussed and contented.

Seeing breezes invisibly blowing leaves and branches in
the morning sun, clouds passing gently and quietly by,
noticing everything below them.

Never saying a word about any of it, going through this
mind, all details being accorded on photographic screens
every moment of this mere poet's life.

Softly, easily, playing rhythms that bring serenity and
peace into my heart, mind and spirit, calming and sooth-
ing me interiorly.

Loving feelings taking me into the wonder of contempla-
tion totally where this mind feels right at home, never
fading into the past at all.
