In the green forest, I walk,
Lost in a myriad of shades
Of green and brown.
The leaves shimmer
In the rays of the sunlight.
Some of the trees
Stand tall in the
Shadows of the forest.
I stand transfixed
By the sound of silence.
I close my eyes
And smell the rich
Soil teaming with life.
I carry within me
An ocean of sadness.
It ‘s pain pierces me,
And leaves me
Feeling defenseless.
I am burdened by shame
And feel the old memories
Crawl to the surface
Of my consciousness.
I yearn to feel
Cool water against
My face and hair.
I pray for peace.
I gather my strength
And walk down
The old forest trail.
I hear the sound
Of running water
Falling against
The surfaces of rocks.
I see ahead of me
A cascade of
Small waterfalls.
I slowly walk under
The cool water,
Feeling able to breathe again.
I can feel the gentle hands
Of the falling mist
Caress my troubled brow.
I can hear the rush
Of cascading water;
Feel the wetness
Against my dry skin;
And hear the song
The dancing water
Makes, striking stone.
I feel my pain wash away,
And God’s peace
Descend on me.
