Right Here

Right Here

A Poem by Alexa Tarvid
"

Peace can be found in the little things that we all take for granted at one point in our lives.

"

Shhh,
Stop,
Just for a moment,
Stand still,
Right here,
Let your legs take a rest,
And your mind a break from all it's tests,

Shhh,
Stop,
Just for a moment,
Do you hear it?
Do you see it?
Here,
I'll show you,

Shhh,
Stop,
Just for a moment,
Take my hand,
Don't think,
Just,
Just breathe,

Shhh,
Do you hear it?
Nothing,
Silence,
Except for the light sounds of nature,
There's not a sound,
No car horns or blaring stereos,
No rude people or arrogant words,
Just peace,

Stop,
Do you feel it?
The wind is playing with the trees,
Letting the leaves dance for just a moment,
The light brush of grass,
As it bends to follow the breeze,
No physical abuse or backstabbing,
No lies or secret agendas,
Just the wind's soft carress,

Wait,
Just a moment,
Do you see it?
The sun kissing each weary flower,
Bringing it back to life,
The clouds floating through the never-ending sky,
Giving a moving shade to those who need a rest,
No television or stupid movies,
No sorrowful sights or memories that hold you tight,
Just nature's beauty at it's best,

Shhh,
Stop,
Just for a moment,
Stand still,
Right here,
And look around you,
What do you see?
Because right now,
All I see is you and me,
In this place of peace.
