Sometimes
My mind
Goes blank
Telling me
Be silent
Let everything
Slip
Into the background
Disappear
Slowly
Refocus
The world
Continues
To buzz
My head
Is silent
I smile
From the inside
So peaceful here
Listen
To nothing
Where?
Today
Sitting
On a curb
It is sunny
Warm
There is an ant
Wandering
Aimlessly
Around
I watch
Beginning
To feel
Content
He decides
To go
Around
A patch of grass grow
Around
A hole
Down
The steep curve
Of that curb
His pace
Consistent
Occasional redirection
His choice
If he ponders
It is
The slightest of moments
Moves on
No one
On a path before him
No one
Following the path behind him
An ant
The sun
The sidewalk
Simple
Uncomplicated
Peaceful
Fulfilling
This moment
Reminds me
I
Am the ant
