Analysis of Mindfulness

Kailey Norris 2004 (North Carolina)



My words flow from an overflowing sink,
My direction of thought an unknown path,
My mind a twisting tree root,
My ideas a snapping branch in the wind.

I walk with unknown eyes,
I listen through foreign ears,
I write with spinning thoughts,
I see only through touch.
