The thundering sound of wind
As it rushes past me
The “sh, sh, sh” of the trees
As their branches sway
Rays of warmth and light
Dancing across my skin
The chirping and clicking
Of crawling insects
The sweet pitches of birdsongs
High up in the boughs
The chittering of critters
Scurrying about
I close my eyes
Breathing in the smells
My heart beating in time
Allow myself to melt into
The din of life around me
I’m part of the symphony now, too.
Wind
Cool, light
Moving, whispering, howling
Pushing clouds through the sky
Nature’s breath

| Yuba Lake State Park, Levan, UT, May 2021 |
Soft breeze dancing across my face
Little birds singing their songs
Sun rising in the east
Come sit with me
Beside the lake
And listen
Let go
Be
The deep tones of the water
As it moves towards the shore
Crashing against the rocks
The soprano chirps of the birds
Singing their morning tunes
The sun rising higher in the sky
As the minutes become hours
And the morning ticks by
The breeze blowing through my hair and over the lake
Making waves across its surface
It's quiet
But the lake speaks louder
The longer I sit
"Though you feel your life is in tumult,
You can have peace in this moment."
