A WALK IN THE WOODS

The forest whispers
take nothing
leave nothing

Enter my world,
as you've entered yours

Yet I search, for something
to fill my life with meaning

And yearn to be free
of thoughts that trouble me

A gentle stream, shows the way
curving, turning, obstacles away

I hear the breeze sing in the trees
I see the dance of the falling leaves

An open flower, draws a butterfly
A silent lake, holds the sky

I feel a tree in my palm
it fills my heart, with a quiet calm

Thoughts give way to feeling
and feeling,
gives way to being

I see the forest knows 
peace flows

from nothing 
into nothing
