A Moment In Time

Hear the gentle rain now
Quietly calling out to you.
Listen to the pitter-pat
Of sweet rain anew.

Come smell the fragrance
Of a rose freshly blooming out;
Calling upon you to partake,
Of what life is all about.

See yonder Red-tailed hawk,
Mastering the skies.
Seeing all that lies below:
Nothing hidden from his eyes.

Look up! Behold the stars!
A part of you is there.
Walk peacefully upon your path
With a smile. Do not despair.

All around you is beauty,
In every bush and tree.
Awaken to the source of light
Forever residing within thee.
