The Organic Poet
Are You Watching? @DrArlettePoland
I was watching the wind and trees play the other day
How they bend each other
How they touch and love
Argue and push
Prod and collaborate
I was watching the birds and wind play the other day
How they collaborate
How they flow together
How they argue and push
How they touch and love
I was watching the sun play with the shadows the other day
How they never stay in one place
How they flow together with the wind
How they collaborate and bend
Trees, birds, wind, shadows - sun
Me, watching
The trees were watching me the other day
How I sat so still even in the wind
How I smiled and blinked
How I breathed and scratched
How I loved and how I argued
Where you place your attention
Is where your kindness
Bends, argues, touches and flows
Loves and collaborates
Have you watched the trees and wind play?
Have you watched the wind and birds love?
Have you argued with shadows or the sun?
Where you place your attention,
Your focus … your attention
That is your power
Have you watched where?
