Only Stop

Only Stop
Edward Clay
November 2016

Stop!
Stand a moment.
Breathe deep and draw in calm.
Look,
With eyes and heart open.
See the beauty around.
The autom leaf
or the sparkle of a flowing brook.
The pattern in a piece of stone
Or the shapes of clouds.
Feel it inside you
as beauty is everywhere.
One only has to look.
