Dancing Figures

The trees rustling in the breeze, 

oh what sweet dance they make!

watch them sway to nature's hypnotic tune

swish, swish, swish

I feel my troubles melt away 

as I am embraced by this warm, gentle breeze.

Nature.

The perfect medicine for the troubles of this world

encompassing our lives with worries, sickness, pain, stress and fear.

But here, in this moment

my mind is clear, my heart is still and I can breathe. 

I close my eyes and imagine the leaves coming to life,

 taking form of a figure. 

I watch as it dances freely around the garden

Oh how I want to be free like that figure of leaves

to dance and sway with the gentle breeze

in beautiful harmony.
