When my thoughts are whirling
My mind is troubled; confused
I feel completely depleted
Physically and emotionally
I go walking.
I stroll along the Downs Link path.
The wordless branches speak
Their serenity descends to me.
Alone, silently in the quietude
I contemplate the clouds above.
I marvel at a tiny wren
Singing out its thanks
For sunlight filtering through leaves.
My spirit lifts; my mind is renewed
My whole being soothed
I experience a hushed tranquillity
A divine serenity.
I open my heart in prayer.
I connect with God; He with me.
I am at peace.
