Silent Prayer

Snow lays scattered on far mountain edges Thin fog from the valley rises to greet A rainbow's view among the rock ledges My troubled mind and I have come to meet Reflections from light, etch into nature Songbird sounds echo while in graceful flight I press my palms in prayer to confer I realize I need nothing but sight Alone where waterfalls pour long into streams Nature beckons with its tranquility To free my spirit, allow for its dreams My soul lays down in serenity To hear each breath taken, move out and in My soul is free, to be healed once again 10/16/17
