I took a walk along a path today,

The trees calm as no leaves did fall,

I can hear the birds singing from afar,

A slight breeze moves across my face,

The only other sound I hear,

Is my own feet as they move through the dirt,

Branches fill the sky overhead,

A slight darkness do I feel I am in,

I take a glance through the trees,

As I come upon another path,

Within a distance I can see,

A field of flowers flowing on a hill,

I find myself walking at a faster pace,

The suns rays beginning to shine on me,

I hear a soft and soothing sound,

As I come upon a small babbling brook,

I stop to put my hand into the water,

Splash a bit on my warm feeling face,

So comforting and cool does it feel to me,

I remove my shoes and do wade in,

Now it’s time to continue on,

As I draw closer, I can smell the flowers,

Such a soft, sweet, and luscious scent,

Like a perfect soft, silky, red rose,

The green hill is so soft and smooth,

The tiny blades of grass under my feet,

Flowers flowing within my sight,

The air so fresh and clean,

I sit down upon the soft grass,

Then lay down on my back,

Looking into the sky of blue,

As the clouds flow in soft motion,

I lay there with such peace in my mind,

I hear no loud sounds of sirens or horns at all,

I feel the inner serenity and peace I find,

From a simple walk along a wondering path…
