In the Quiet of an Evening

On a quiet evening

I close my eyes and take a deeper breath

To allow my senses to take flight

As I soak up the world with my senses

I can smell the sweet scent of flowers

Whenever a gentle breeze passes by

Looking up at the stars

Trying to hear if there are still birds anywhere

At the park, I hear the rustling of leaves

As they dance in the moonlit street

It’s a sound that warms my heart

And fills me with peace and inspiration

I drank some cool water which I brought

As it quenches my thirst

A sensation that relieves the dryness in my throat

It refreshes my whole being

Now as I walk onto the soft grass

I removed my shoes to be barefooted

A texture that’s hard to appreciate

When we have become used to wearing shoes

As I looked up, the twinkle of stars was there

They lit up the dark sky

A sight that fills me with tranquillity

I marvel at the greatness of its Creator

Every sense is a gift to behold

A gateway to a world so diverse

It reminds a story of an unknown tomorrow

A feeling of awe fills my heart

In this quiet walk

I pause to reflect on my life

The journey where I can use all senses

To experience the beauty of this place
