A NEW BEGINNING
The mountains carved through elements and time
The wonder of them leave us breathless and free
Free to absorb their immense awesome power
To revel in their sheltering massive arms.
Comfortable strength to embrace and admire
Miles to roam undiscovered and new country
The trees of wisdom to shelter a weary soul
To gaze upwards into their canopy of time.
Asking century old questions of how and why
Not expecting answers but listening to the wind
The tracing of fingers across the fragrant bark
Holding of fingers against their very life force.
Inhaling the crisp cold breeze that’s so invigorating
Feeling it rush through my body in vibrations
So refreshing in its purity, untouched and clean
Being whole and free to live another precious day.
Mother Earth I’m listening to your wisdom
I’m prepared for the daily battles yet ahead
Knowing in my soul the journey is a long one
Yet my heart is ready for a new beginning.
