attempt to meditate

sitting on the balcony
early morning sun
on my face
trying to focus on my body
I can't hear a thing
breathing in and out
sitting crossed legged
maybe 2 minutes
distracted by the birds
and deadheads on my petunias
attempt failed
but the peace on the balcony
the light violet blue petunias
the birds flitting about
was meditation enough
and much needed quiet
for the day
