My eyes softly shut,
And I breath in the night air;
My shoulders release.
The cool breeze hugs me,
Holding me in that moment,
Simply living now.
I open my eyes,
And stare up at the expanse
Of stars above me.
I feel so small here,
Yet totally connected
To the universe.
I feel my soul reach
Out to the twinkling stars,
And the glowing moon.
I feel connected
To the ground beneath my feet,
Rooted in cool earth.
I feel the beauty
Of the world in this moment,
Of possible peace.
