Take one and it began

I went to a brook to chill

So that I could just stand still

It was a brook with a beautiful view

standing meditation

It’s what I’m here to do

A view from a very old mill

A small shale cliff rises from the stream

Still the water looked so clear

and the sky was truly blue

Still were the trees until along came a breeze

gently blowing right through

The freshness made everything  new

the canopy begins to awake

as leaves in the breeze do flutter and shake

the trunk stays still and all the leaves all quake



Take two this is true and they were keen

Along came a caravan of stoats to the ravine

A beautiful scene that was fit for a queen

So serene if you know what I mean

Some stoats swam right into view

and some stoats did some diving

All the stoats were handsome things

and they looked like they were thriving

Some stoats went potholing

some stoats had a climb

Some stoats played at brawling

it looked like they had a good time

tumbling and falling

crazy crazy dancing

Some were busy preening

ready for romancing

Not one stoat got to see me in my stillness

But I got to see them all excelling in their silliness

After half an hour I felt really really blessed

As I got to see a pack of stoats looking at their best



Take three from under the rowan tree

My arms and legs were aching

especially my knee

So I had to move

And made it my mission…

Tried not to scare the stoats away

gently change position

To do it real slow so I didn’t stop the show

The excellent exhibition

follow my intuition

A very slow transition

so as not to cause suspicion

They didn’t see me move

so steady slow and smooth

I flow getting in the groove

of strength and calm you know

So as I held my new position

Just like a jungle physician

The mother stoat froze in a pose

She was all ears eyes and nose

checking the wind and the way it blows

I stayed still and silent until she lost her suspicion

Although she is the hunter

with so much competition

Such as talons beaks teeth or claws

Off the foxes cats or even hawks

Yes in nature thats the way it goes

She’ll be on the lookout for anything that gawks



Take four it is hard to ignore as the family explore

So back to the pack thats is bounding about ….

if she goes for a swim she could maybe catch a trout

If  she goes underground she will surely scout out.. any rabbit…

and I doubt she will not try to chase and grab it

If she come back up there looking for a hare

Hare beware because the stoats surely dare

They got the flare and they’re very cutely aware

If you ever see a stoat they won’t let you stand and stare

I was so lucky fourteen years ago

Because of meditation

I got to see the show

One night I went to free my mind upon a lonely hill

What I saw next was wonderful and gave me such a thrill

As I looked up and saw two gulls very much in love

Both the gulls had auras each as sweet as any dove

A he gull and a she gull heading for the sea

Towards the setting sun that was coloured beautifully

Could they be chasing sunset for eternity

Forever west and never rest until the fall into the sea

— The End —
