In stillness of the mind, I find
The art of mindfulness divine
The world around me fades away
As I focus on the present day
My breath, the anchor that I hold
As thoughts and worries lose their hold
I feel my body and its weight
Connected to the earth's embrace
The rustle of leaves, the chirping bird
All sounds become my every word
In harmony with nature's pace
I feel a sense of deep embrace
With every breath I take and feel
I'm present in the moment, real
The art of mindfulness, so pure
A path to peace and inner cure
And when I open up my eyes
I see the world in new surprise
The colors, textures, scents and sounds
All vivid, alive, and profound
The art of mindfulness, a treasure
A practice that brings joy and pleasure
May we all find this art sublime
And cherish every moment in time.
