I Feel Rejuvenated Alive and Loved

Eager to return to the country
To live out my days in peace
To experience the joy of the wild
I take a deep breath as I meet the silence
She is an old friend, comforting and kind

Excited to begin a new journey
Using crisp white sheets of paper
I line up my pens and begin to meditate
A flying bird outside the window takes my attention
Hawk? Raven? Crow? I think of Poe.

Enthusiasm is pouring out of my pen
I cannot write as fast as I think.
My brain is as frenzied as my heart is relaxed.
I feel rejuvenated, alive, loved.
Nature is returning me to my spiritual self.

strong stuff, as a whole, these postings of yours today, that recharge / change / rejuvenation is working particularly well, or maybe I'm the one who got a good night rest and am enjoying it more? Hmmm...

I live in the country for this reason - I love the silence.
