Poem
A Forest Meditation Today I choose to meditate Away my anger and my grief. The trees are so thick I am lost in their green grace. Black earth provides A soft bed for my weary head. A whisper of nearby water Calms frail nerves. The air here is clean, Untouched by humanity. It is now that I close my eyes, Connect my soul to this slice of heaven. Ask with humbleness and without pride, To release my personal demons. Open my heart and mind To the magic of forest around me. My arms outstretched, my eyes are closed, My five senses are my guides. The Faeries are the first to descend. Little wings music in my ears. Their forest language soothing. A lullaby pulling pain from my broken heart. The Spirits of the forest arrive next. I can feel the air temperature drop. I shiver in their presence But I am not afraid. They are not here to haunt, But rather to remove what haunts me. And for that gift I offer a silent smile of gratitude. The leaves of surrounding shrubs Rustle as the Elementals arrive. Earth, Water, Air, Fire. Powerful beings as old as time itself. The ground beneath my body shifts. I feel droplets of moisture on my bare skin. My long hair, haloed around my head, Seemingly lifts by a hot burning wind. A chant, ancient by right, is recited. Not in my ears but in my head. Words that I don't understand. Phrases that beat in time with heartbeat. I feel like I'm being transported. Carried beyond this very dimension. My spine arches. My fists clench. Not in a bad way though, In a cleanse of sorts. All the evil is being drained. All my sorrow is awashed. And as deep and moving As the the experience is, It stops just as sudden. And I am back in the forest alone. I feel reborn. Clean and refreshed. Opening my eyes, stretching. Sitting up, realizing day has become night. Lighting a flashlight. Saying grace aloud. Giving gratitude to my surroundings. I end my forest meditation.
