in my quiet place
under the trees
gusts of wind are busy
cajoling the tired leaves
into giving up and falling
onto the green grass below
where they frolic
unfettered
the earth is alive
butterflies meander past
as an ant nonchalantly
walks across my arm
on its way to somewhere
that perhaps is a mystery
to both of us
a bluebird is taking
a bath in a rhythmic
array of splashes
and stillness
the Spanish moss is swaying
to the beat of
the wind
like chandeliers
swinging from the branches
the morning sun illuminates
dragonflies and
butterflies
cavorting on the
wings of the wind
the droning of a small plane
in the distance
and cars going by
down on the highway
the only sounds that
remind me that i'm still
in the middle of civilization
i like it here
my bruisings feel soothed
when i shut off my mind
so that my heart can
refocus
and regroup
and it's only by the
grace of God
and His fingerprints
on my heart
and my soul
that i have this place
under the trees
to regenerate.
