Thought
It is not in misery but in joy
That we ascend a mountain path
Drinking in with eyes recalls
Displays of ferns and waterfalls
Trekking up a winding way
No angst but pleasant panting breath
No thought for what a journey brings
Just to walk while the wild wind sings
Grand distant hills lord over lakes
Mirrored in the waters clear
Calmed still mind reflects the same
Like artist’s scene in picture frame
If life is a journey, enjoy your stay
Plan not for tomorrow but today
Though at the top vast vista waits
Unhurried steps enchant mind states
Prayer
O Lord cure my impatience. Thou are here, thou art now and thou art beauty. Replace my anxiety for results with the awareness of each delightful step on the journey.
