Poem: The Place


The prompt for today's poem is: Give directions to a place.

The Place

At the sound of the first bird song
In the before anyone else is awake hour,
Slip out of bed and pad down the hallway
To a quiet, comfortable spot.
A couch, a chair, a rug on the floor with a cushion will do.
Sit down.
Cross your legs and use a mudra if you want to.
Arrive at a position where you can be.
Close your eyes.
Follow your breath.
Inhale… Exhale… Inhale…
Listen to the sounds around you.
Pursue your monkey mind
To a place beyond the chatter.
The place.
