The Snowflake Chronicles

A Tranquil Mind

I listen to the sparrows of morning
intoning their praise to dawn,
singing their joy for another day of life
and happiness.

I intone my prayers on rising
in the first light of day,
my praise joining the sparrow
melody.

Tranquil thoughts embrace my mind,
as I begin a new day
and a new week.

The birds are not blue because
today is Monday,
they are happy
that a new day has dawned
nor do they worry
about what tomorrow will bring.

I inhale the fragrance of morning,
I place the day
and the week in God's hands knowing
that it the way
to achieve a tranquil mind.
