A gentle breeze,
Like an open palm.
I lean into it,
Letting it caress me.
It dances through my hair,
Lifting and swaying
In the warm summer sun.
All is right in this moment.
Thoughts not so jumbled.
Peace attainable,
If only for a moment.
To sit and not only hear the stillness
But to feel it.
The breath that was forgotten
Comes back
Like a rushing wave.
Inhaling deeply.
Everything fades.
In that moment I am alive
I close my eyes
Letting it wash over me.
The feel of the earth
beneath my hands and feet.
Time stops and its ok.
The softness of the grass
Rocks me in a silent lullaby.
I am Alice and this is my wonderland.
The rustling leaves,
The singing birds.
A love affair,
Between my heart
And the place that I find myself.
If only I could stay forever.
