Taking A Moment

Calm In Nature

Amidst the sand, I tread with ease,

Not backwards, but forward, with a breeze.

Water nearby, murky, not blue,

A gentle sound of geese in view.

A subtle breeze, barely felt,

Yet seen atop the trees, so well dealt.

Their leaves sway, a calming sight,

As geese cascade in flight.

I sit and watch, almost forgot,

The world around, in nature's plot.

You might not believe, eyes closed tight,

The peace I find in this quiet night.

I yearn to trample once again,

Or venture to the water's edge, serene.

To seek nature's treasures hidden from sight,

Where my eyes can't quite catch the light.

But then I glance up, skyward bound,

As a plane crosses, a sound profound.

The whimsical appearance of clouds so high,

Cumulus or cirrus, they paint the sky.

In this moment of meditation's grace,

Silence surrounds me, a sacred space.

Surreal it seems, this serendipitous place,

Where nature's whispers fill the empty space.
