Today, something a little different. I've been delving back into the world of poetry and want to share a first effort.
Stillness
My mind needs a garden.
A place to find stillness of the soul.
A place with both familiar paths
and unknown trails leading off into dappled woods.
A bench to rest a weary life.
Quiet.
Peace.
The lullaby of running water.
A sense that there is something bigger at work.
A letting go and finding clarity of purpose.
Or maybe finding that I don’t need one - that the only task is to just be
and do no harm.
Color.
Scent.
Sudden bursts of beauty, unfurling, nodding in the breeze.
I want a place
in which to bloom.
