When the pace of life begins to worry

When everything and everybody seems in a hurry

I find a way to calm myself and take a break from this life’s flurry

I simply grab my cane and take a stroll

It calms my mind and soothes my soul

As I saunter on I watch the breeze

As it blows about through the maple trees

It gives the likeness of waves crossing the seas

My mind gets placate as I commune with Mother Earth

I envision how all of nature got its birth

I may even get caught up in an imaginative flight

To a place in the clouds where there is no day or night

But only beauty and harmony to be found everywhere

A place where there is no sadness, no misery, no despair

A place where I have been drawn away from tribulation

Peace and happiness has become my sole disposition

I am then standing there enjoying the magnificent scenery

Would you like to come and commune with me?
