Busy thoughts tumbling
Tastebuds blind to the coffee sluice
Staring into the Abyss
Mind taking notes
All of this insanity
Head bound intensity
Sliced through
By the sound of birdsong
Warbling away
Two magpies in the shade
A sprinkler
Is it dramatic to say
They saved me
From another gone by day
Awareness and Grace
In black and white suits
Not a care in the world
I’ve lost mine too
This life
Too precious
Too wonderful
To leave to some thoughts
And the ever passing mood
Returning to the moment,
The breeze,
And a soulful Magpie tune
