Simply being

I sit down on the soft grass and look around at the last memories of winter,
I breathe in the beauty of the moment and know spring is on its way,
I watch the long grass bend and submit to the cold wind,
Could things be anymore perfect in this moment, no change is needed for that.
 
I stare into the distance and can see the sea glistening and dancing with the sun,
I lay down to get out of the wind and watch clouds moving silently,
They pass over, under and through each other with ease,
The sun breaks through the clouds over me, I close my eyes and smile.

I pull my coat tight against myself as I stand,
I walk into the wind allowing it to blow my thoughts away,
There's a crisp noise as I walk on last years leaves but know they'll be back,
Everything goes together so well in moments like these.

As I walk I feel myself lighten on the ground and begin to glide,
I walk alone but know that's never really the case,
I feel my surroundings and feel complete and at home,
Presence surrounds me and I feel once again comforted.

I hear a family of horses before I see their beauty,
They run, dance and play at the amazement of life,
I feel like joining them but I can feel their excitement from where I watch,
I sit again and allow things to simply be.

They move into the distance but I thank them for their grace,
I continue with my journey with no real destination or meaning,
I know these times are pure and nature will always be ready to show me that,
I become grateful for life and the fact that I am part of it.
