As I sit by the window,
the morning sun
drifts on in,
singing the praises
of yet another day.
A zen-like quality emerges.
Rays bouncing from
winter white blankets
winter white blankets
bring outdoors in.
A hushed quiet
envelops the room.
envelops the room.
In a corner,
upon a mat of bamboo,
cut-open pods of grace
in triad formation
in triad formation
adorn a desk
of muted colors.
Indoor life merges
of muted colors.
Indoor life merges
with outdoor sights
in a seasonal burst,
reminding me that
new life is waiting
in an early spring.
in an early spring.

From Day 10's Found Object Poem Project created by Laura Shovan, I brought one season to merge with another to open my eyes to the power of reflection in a stilled environment.
The reflective time allowed a new thought to grow, as in the case of most writing. From stillness, lessons emerged.
Lessons Learned:
- Be present in the moment
- Bring the outside world inside to refresh your soul
- Fill your spirit with positivity
- Remain calm and let voice rise
Please visit Margaret Simon's blog, Reflections on the Teche, where the Day 10 Found Object Poem Project will be hosted.
