You walk among silent trees.
Sun slants down,
includes you gently
without a word.
All those thoughts and worries,
worth’s calculations and predictions
filtered out by trees
rubbing their hands in the wind,
grasses telling stories about rain.
Dragonflies dip and sway over the pond.
Everything weaves, speaks of belonging.
Afternoon light settles around you.
You have been given this amazing life.
The sun falls patiently.
A crow calls “Now! Now!”
