Mindfulness

Posted on by Reena Saxena

a poet spoke of
daffodils – long before you
heard of mindfulness
let the coaches know that I
read good poetry;
I don’t spend hard-earned money
to learn how to smell
rainbows and pocket the sky
for upliftment, instant joy

Sorry I don’t need
happiness or mindfulness
coaching to control
my amygdala; it just
happens by flipping a page

Choka with tanka as envoy

Kigo word: daffodils
