A Pine Crest Experience

 

As I sit here

In the night

My eyes wonder

To the sky and see

More stars than

In the rat race life,

Suddenly my spirit

Is not alone.

 

 I look around and see

The pine trees

That surround me

And my fears know they can hide

Without running away.

 

It is so dark on the ground

That it envelops my soul

With natural enlightenment

That teaches me what no book

has ever done.

 

I try to breath quietly

Because it is quiet

That my heart could hear

The whispers of love

All the way from space.

If silence is truly golden

Then this is

A 24-karat moment.

 

I take one last look around

Before the sun rises

And take a picture in my mind

That goes in the photo album

Of my life

And stored in a section labeled

priceless.
