A Mindful Heart

A Poem…

I am mindful of my heart today
That beats in cadence
With the magnificent universe

I am mindful of each breath
That awakens my soul
To the beauties of the world

I am mindful of my eyes
That open to compassion
Of all living creatures

I am mindful of my nose
That rekindles my memories
Of loved ones, festive holidays and aromatic spring times

I am mindful of my ears
That hear the tender cries
Of those who seek mercy

I am mindful of my hands
That touch the weary
Laden with disease and illness

I am mindful of my chrysalis
That is breaking open
As I emerge to color the precious universe
