I walk along the shadow way
alert for any sound
aware of my soft footfalls
upon the soggy ground
Towards a path of hushing leaves
and bogs all verdant crowned
My spirit alive with imaginings
of the history all around.

So let the art of silence
penetrate the clouded mind
Live your walk through nature
and the answer’s you will find
As sun and cloud change places
and shadows turn to light
You understand the answers
because you get the questions right.

Revealing landscapes that appear
like laid-out inner dreams
The healing sound of water
in busy rushing streams
Time to count your blessings
diminish your extremes
Stand still with Mother Nature
and remember what life means.

Enshrouded by such vastness
you humbly find your pride
Each step you takes gets stronger
upon a goodwill tide
A new reality rises as you walk
and witness dawn
Of light and air and hope renewed
ongoing, not withdrawn.
