An Impactful Visit

After an age, I found myself in her presence, 
Struck again by her simplicity, her very essence. 
A mathematician, now on a spiritual path, 
Her life, a testament to a transformative start.
A practical spender, a healthy eater, 
An insightful shift, due to a loss so bitter. 

We delved into topics, broad and intense, 
From psychology of the mind to witty content.
Earnestly we discussed, the mind’s sneakiness,
And chuckled over our juvenile naiveness. 

Our daily walks were through nature’s creative art, 
Where wildflowers flourished, and birds played their part. 
Emerald fields of blue, orange, pink and yellow blooms, 
Where long-tailed grackles sang, dispelling all glooms.
Spotted cardinal couples, a sight vividly marvelous, 
And blue jay, butterfly and fly catchers’ gliding pairs.
Serene azure of the lake would enhance our mood,
Where mallards drifted with their newly hatched brood.

She nourished me with a diet so hearty and pure, 
Beans, boiled eggs, oatmeal and salads to ensure.
Effective stretches she imparted for sore legs,
They work miracles when paired with some ankle weights. 

This visit, a soulful journey was an impactful quest, 
In her simplicity, this time I experienced a tranquil rest.
