There was a magnificence
Maybe it was the drifting light of the sky fire, or the silence of natures tones, or the vivid green roof of the forest beside me
oh wondrous lake, maybe it was you
or perhaps it was the very skin that held my being together
I wasn’t sure what exactly had littered my air with peace
I wasn’t even certain it was anything in particular
but I felt a presence
and my heart, it breathed deeply
I was sat on a rock overlooking the calm surface of water
it glimmered in awe of its own existence
I felt that
I melted into an inner knowing
every element my eyes touched with their sight felt like a portal to another world
a world that knew of its own perfection
each element I looked upon was a gift from that realm
an offering, to say
breath it all in
breath it all in deeply
feel the great beauty that surrounds you
feel the great beauty that is you
now let it go, let it all go –
and continue
with your heart wide open
