Joy Within

Oh yes, my joy is back 

I can feel a smile upon my face 

love in my heart

peace in my thoughts

an overall inner glow 

Hallelujah, peace is back

The firm ground is supporting me while 

the air is saying

Come with me and I will show you the way to

a greater peace, light and joy within

Awakened *

Before I meditate a stone is just a stone

Cold yet at times may catch and reflect the sun

After meditation

I open my eyes and now it is surrounded by a special 
calmness

The air is soft like cotton balls and the stone not only 
catches and reflects light but twinkles with awe

It conveys a quiet joy and makes me smile with heartfelt 
warmth

Before I meditated all was winter yet afterward in that 
moment spring is awakened

12811, 121911 Awaken

Nothing to Write

Nothing to write 

but the endless honking geese have a lot to say

I smile and feel inquisitive and joyful 

I have come to you

The grass is still asleep so I can walk upon you without concerns of ticks 

Old friend of twenty years you have been my constant 

my anchor 

my special place of contemplation 

I stand and meditate listening to the serenades of spring

Yes, old friend we are together 

The sky may be grey and the trees barren today 

But in any season you are my constant 

For this moment I stand in awe and feel peace within
