They say poetry is good for the soul.

So today, I’m going to write a poem a day on Medium for the next 30 days. I want to express, explore, and experiment with myself and my writing. I need a new challenge; and this is a great way to challenge myself.

Mindful of My Mindfulness: A poem

At this very moment in time, I am mindful to

The world that gathers alone together

Remembering how each breath I take will forever see me through.

I breathe in and out, out and in,

Knowing that they won’t last forever.

At this very moment in time, I am mindful to

My mind, my mind.

I see the cherry blossoms move with the weather

Remembering how each shake of the branch

Corresponds with each breath taken will see me through.

I am aware of who I am.

And I’m mindful of who you are.

I feel beaten like torn leather

At this moment in time, I’m mindful to

The coolness of my breath, they form clouds

Vapors in the sky, disappearing

Into the sunrise

No one understands my mind the way I do.

I’m mindful of the way I am with you.

“Poetry, at its best, is the language your soul would speak if it could teach your soul to speak.” -Jim Harrison
