I Sit In Silence

I sit in silence hearing the call of the wild.

I stare into space seeing the hidden stars.

I smell the wind and sense the carnage.

I feel the earth and am encouraged by nature.

I stand in awe of the majesty around us.

I wonder about the mysteries that confuse us.

I taste the water and it quenches the fire.

I sense the forces that drive our spirits.

I reach deep to understand unknown souls.

I travel an unknown path.

I search for hidden treasures, buried in the thatch.

I hear, see, smell, feel, taste and sense

So one day I can say we….instead of I.

I am not the only one, but I am only one.

Give me nature and give me solitude, and I will find my way in the untamed wild.

If glory is measured in monetary riches, one has to ponder the currency of their worth.

I live for the day that I can look to the sky, walk the earth, and swim the seas

And know there is more behind the clouds, abundance in the trees and castles in the deep.
