An everyday moment caught on camera

This is a moment of Everyday Mindfulness I caught today when walking back from town. I would never have seen it had my wife not spotted the leaf and pointed it out to me. How many other events in life do we walk right past without noticing? I wrote this poem about it, and you can see the video here. Mindful Leaf 

Caught on Camera Saved in Memory

Invisible filament

Suspending time for a moment

Small autumn leaf right there

Butterfly spinning dancing

Two metres from earth

Reaching to settle

Debating seasons gravity

Just hanging waiting showing

Caught on camera

Cars go by

People go by

Oblivious to the display

This one-off

Never to be repeated

Performance

Flying in the face of awareness

Just a leaf

For a moment caught on camera

Following your every move

Breath held

Blackbird calls to attention

Plays the tune

You flutter falter

Sliding out of shot

Easing loose

Gently falling

Joining friends on the ground

Uploaded preserved uplifting

Registered

Remembered

Replayed

Replanted

Never far from tree

Now I see

Thanks for showing me

Saved in memory
