serenity's tune

this peace I feel here in the woods, 

with dirt-caked hands and weary toes

with heart so light and mind so free,

the sky, all that is holding me. 

feeling grounded, worthy, whole and true, 

alone and silent, serenity's tune. 

wispy clouds hold the fading light, 

where mere mortals may glimpse the divine

with palms open wide to usher in grace, 

at peace, so still, drifting softly through space. 

rooted and strong, ancient but new, 

alone and silent, serenity's tune.
