Right Here, Right Now

Slivers of light gray streaks of clouds Spread across the pink horizon Where tall black trees stood still Not a breeze, not a movement Not a troublesome thought to think Beauty erased everything this moment The mind empty as the street once traveled Not a soul to be seen anywhere Wildlife spoke from the depth of the woods Where peace merged with loneliness ---But, freedom won--- To be anything, choose any path, Travel any direction without worry or doubt Knowing the timing is just right In the face of a beautiful sunset With a breath, of fresh night air Everything is simple as it should be --- Right here, right now --- Heidi Sands 5/23/17
