Looking out the window
past the trees,
Onto the lake
winter frozen.
Hills behind.
This is as far as my
eyes can see.
So I close them, and
nature opens her glory.
Lake and mountain stretch
far and wide.
Beauty and stillness
abound.
Like fresh air in
my lungs,
my heart soars open.
Wide as the lake.
Open as the sky.
Deep as the mountains.
As face smiles, so does
body.
Each cell radiating
like the sun.
All in joy.
