Contentment Is A Flower

colourful and smiling

dancing delicately

in the air blowing

and this morning

my heart is like that

I can feel it beating

gently like quiet waves

and I sense the cosmos

in my breath

its vastness

and I close my eyes

in peace

and open them again

and the greenery outside

is waving to me

saying it is such

a great thing to be alive

and I wave back at it

and say you can

say that again

and the sky laughs

and like magic there is rain.

Joy Is Golden

I can hear the forest breathe

the birds singing

and the trees

are swaying

love blows

like the breeze

and it is so beautiful

the world is my mother

and in her lap I lie

and she is rocking me

till I laugh in happiness

O life you are so much fun

I say as I hear my neighbours talk

and I listen to them

as my heart is slowly filled

with contentment

and as I look up at the sky

I see the bright light there

and maternal arms holding me

and then there is silence so deep

I am reborn.

Contentment

is the huge white sky

in my eyes

silence in my mind

peace in my heart

my body calm

as a still sea

and the green trees

of the forest sway

waving to me

each and every one

of them

and into the quietness

the birds dive and sing

carrying my world

on a wing

and I am one

with the universe

passing through

me like air

so open

I have become

so free.
