Today’s poem was inspired by my other half, Android, on our journey back from the mountains. He told me he thought it would be a good idea to write about prising ourselves away from our devices and taking the time to look outside and so I did! Happy New Year!
Look Up
Look up and put your iPhone down
Look up, inhale the roses
When you take time to look around
More joy your life exposes
Look up and watch the clouds that scud
with ease across the skyway
Take note of all the shoots and buds
Set foot upon the byways
Look up, look ‘round, look out to sea
Inhale the scene before you
Be present to this moment’s glee
Pure energy implores you
Allow your senses, hear the sounds
Distractions are but showbiz
Look up and put your iPhone down
Look up, inhale the roses
