Morning Ritual
The morning ritual
The air is heavy
Deep deep lung filling breaths
The scents overwhelming
The sounds, a musical orchestra
To ones ears
The sights are simple, yet,
A natural beauty, all on their own
These are the thoughts
That float aimlessly through
The empty cavern
That I foolishly call my mind
It
being vacant of anything important
Just like the missing clouds
That no longer float in
The deep deep blue filled sky
And the warm morning sun
Casting long shadows
As it greets yet another new day
The wild Irish yellow furze
stand out more majestically
Than any grand giant redwood tree
Surrounded by the heavy smell of overgrown
Dew covered heather
The now spring shallow river
Tinkles quietly in the background
Like gentle butterfly wings
As it flows gently, on its way by
The birds sing out above
To me alone below
In their aphrodisiac filled tunes
As I and, my mongrel slowly make my way home
For that much wanted
Morning cup of tea
The air is heavy
Deep deep lung filling breaths
The scents overwhelming
The sounds, a musical orchestra
To ones ears
The sights are simple, yet,
A natural beauty, all on their own
These are the thoughts
That float aimlessly through
The empty cavern
That I foolishly call my mind
It
being vacant of anything important
Just like the missing clouds
That no longer float in
The deep deep blue filled sky
And the warm morning sun
Casting long shadows
As it greets yet another new day
The wild Irish yellow furze
stand out more majestically
Than any grand giant redwood tree
Surrounded by the heavy smell of overgrown
Dew covered heather
The now spring shallow river
Tinkles quietly in the background
Like gentle butterfly wings
As it flows gently, on its way by
The birds sing out above
To me alone below
In their aphrodisiac filled tunes
As I and, my mongrel slowly make my way home
For that much wanted
Morning cup of tea

Author's Note
As you can tell, this was written a while back.
It's what I do each morning. Go for a walk, when the weather is fine, nice and sunny, its mostly about 5.30 /6 am, or early spring.
My dog, buster, half lab, half sheepdog, getting old now.
Ten years and turning grey, like myself.
It's probably the first thing I do after getting dressed, take him out for his walk.
No cars, quite small country road. Not a human made sound to be heard.
But the poem describes the rest of it.
Enjoy 💜💜

Thank you Honoria
I'm thrilled you like it, really am,
It was one of those mornings I have done countless times, never bothering to appreciate what was around me.
That morning, about a mile into it,, I'm not sure what happened or what made me stop and be in that moment.
But it seems like everything came alive within me.
I could smell those yellow furze bushes, the Heather, the trees.
I saw all these.
The sky so blue
The River, its water running low
The birds, it seemed like I were deaf up till that moment or someone had hit the unmute button.
I continued my walk, alive now.
Luckily I always have my phone on me.
By the time I got home I had that poem written.
It's a short walk, about a 3 mile round trip, the neighbours have dogs beyond that point.
Then I had my "Barry's" tea 😂😂🍵🍵
Thank you again for your generous comments 💜💜

Hey there, Whyme :)
I traveled with you on this lovely journey this morning, feeling each descriptive line, just absolutely loving the sense of it. You have a knack for drawing in the reader and instilling pure relatability. I almost looked around for Buster.... lol... (great name!) as I love dogs, so very much!...
This piece introduced me to your capacity for variety and I wasn't disappointed!
I was enthralled and really felt transported.
Outstanding ink, my new friend!
Thanks for sharing 🙏

😂😂😂😂💜💜
You make me smile a mile wide all the while
Having an evening cup of "cha" right now as I right now
Buster is looking up at me trying.. to score a biscuit rom me, he's such a moocher.
This dog is a trained mind reader I swear, he knows when I'm talking about him,.
It's gone beyond using abrevations to fool him, I now have to use what little Irish language I'm capable of.
I swear he can be the dumbest dog you'll ever meet, then on the other side. He knows so much its unreal.
But one thing about him. He is so lovable, he's brought me through a lot of shit in my life. He's one reason I haven't slit my wrists in the past.... Omg,,, I swear he reads minds,, he was just lying on the floor,, I was/am totally engrossed in writing this, next thing I know, there's two paws on me a big slobber tongue on my face 😂,,, try and tell me he doesn't read minds 🤣🤣🤣
Anyway I am truly happy our paths took a turn and entertained
I am happy you took that walk with me.
Ps, I think you may like the next one coming up 🤔😏
Thank you blue for taking my blueness away and spreading a little sparkle on your way💜💜💜
