Chain Link Meditation

A routine is routine

A reheated cup of coffee

A third of the day done

A break not needed but welcome

A few moments to stand by the fence

On my side a lumber mill

On the other side the trees

On my side a parking lot

On the other side the river

On my side a job to do

On the other side a dream to have

I stand at the fence

I look through the trees

I ponder the river

I drink the coffee

I focus past the chain link

I meditate on the day

Today is a blessing

Today is sweat

Today is opportunity

Today is a sore back

Today is this coffee

Today is this mill

Today is this river

Today is this meditation
