walking the woods
i pause
and the moment becomes vibrant
in its stillness
i see, i am surrounded by beauty
and beauty becomes the gate for peace to enter me
moving slower
with a softer gaze
i witness worlds within worlds
an interlaced, woven unity
and awe becomes the gate for peace to enter me
on spiraling paths through the woods
as the rains begin to fall
a gentle quiet fills me
and stillness becomes the gate for peace to enter me
