What beauty this world has on offer
The natural and spiritual surrounds us but we do not see
Too busy with the distractions of the material
Simplicity in the song of the bird
The majestic wonder of the mountain
The desolate elegance of the desert
The mystery of God
Lost among our earthly pursuits
With eyes closed and head arched towards heaven
My mind banishes pain, suffering and torment
Solitude seeps into my bones
A sense of peace forgotten floods my subconscious
The smell of wildflowers
The flutter of the hummingbirds wings
The lonesome howl of the coyote
The joy of spiritual oneness
Sights, sounds and smells I have long ignored
I can almost feel the arms of God drawing me close
Tears shed for time wasted dissipate in a divine awakening
Renewal washes over me
The material is no long all consuming
Reborn with a new sense of purpose
Filled with the glory of nature and the solemnity of nirvana
I have once again found solace and peace in this finite life
All through that which had always lay before me
But I could not see

Loved this….
Thank you very much, I’m glad that you enjoyed it.
Wow….now THAT’S what I call “clarity” with such relief!
Thank you so much for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. 🙂
Beautiful – living as we were meant to be, at one with God and his creation!
Thanks Melody. I’ve come to believe that we take the hear and now far too seriously and lose sight of what is truly beautiful in the world, God and his creations. I know that I have been guilty of this and hope to not repeat this mistake again in the future. 🙂
Lovely, touching, invoking serenity – what more can I say.
Thank you Tracy, I’m glad that you enjoyed it. 🙂
Very tranquil. Love this so much.
Thank you so much. I find that with work and life in general I forget to enjoy the beauty that surrounds me. I know I’m not alone in this as we all live busy lives, but I find it nice to remind myself anyway. I hope all is well with you.
