This is a soft, quiet poem to begin the day. The poet, Ronnie, has not been very active. This was one of the first blogs that followed mine and I followed this one. I always look forward to the poems.

A Healing Place
I have not walked much lately due to time constraints. Nature is a place that allows me to learn about myself and create. Kathy and I spent a lot of time there last spring, summer, and fall. I struggle to write when I am not spending time walking. Today, we had a tornado watch and warning. As I drove home, the sky was dark to the north and east. Lightening flashed across the sky. I was reminded of the power nature holds and, at the same time, its healing touch as a creative source. I am not separate from it. I am a small piece.
This place–
It is a space,
I walk with purpose;
Yet, without purpose
There is no destination here.
The ground uplifts,
The sky shelters,
Breezes cool,
Leaves whisper secrets,
The Sun reveals.
Just be…
Be one;
Not above
Not below
I am integral.
A refuge
Nature`s wisdom shared
I am comforted
I heal
Just be.
