A Moment of Peace
written by: Mark A.S.
I’m feeling more human on this warm Summer day
The weather has embraced me in a comforting way
I’ve meandered over the sierra and down through the glens
My favourite playlist soothing my soul and my heart amends
My Blue Mountains pilgrimage, my place to breathe and heal
Body, mind and psyche can relax, nothing to process, nothing to feel
Nature’s all around me, crisp cool air, clean and pure
The day ahead is coffee, reading, a nap, nothing much to endure
May the year ahead be slower for us all, a year of intermittent breaks
May we enjoy good health, connections and live in the moment, whatever it takes.
Mark lives in Adelaide, South Australia, and enjoys writing poetry and reading, meditation, and hiking.
