 Ive looked out my window

Willing the mountains

To speak to me

They hold a life line I've learned

When you live in the valley.

I've leaned out my window

Hoping the wind would sing me a song

Soothing and sweet

Ive stepped out my door

Wanting the flowers to envelope me with fragrance

To bring me back to my softer self

I have driven long hours

To hear the waves rhythms

Their constancy bringing comfort and healing

I have hiked into forests to breathe among trees

Feeling connection that brings me closer

I have weeded a garden and watched seeds growing

Marvelling at the miracle that all of this is

I have sat beside meadows listening to bees

Watching them faithfully spread life

I have made flower crowns from Daisy's and Dandylions

And felt beautiful

I have shuffled through crackling leaves holding my Grandmother's hand

Making memories to last a life time

I have jumped into lakes and sat high upon mountains

Feeling that all is well with the world

I have jumped off a waterfall

In an ecstasy of victory

I have skated on a frozen pond

Fresh and cold and free

I have sat by a creek and listened to its melody

Being comforted and blessed

I have cried as I rode on the back of a pony

All of my heartbreak spilling over onto her warm back

I have marvelled at Apple Blossoms

After a cold grey winter

I have seen whales breaching from the back of a ferry

My son and I feeling like this was just for us

I have kayaked on the Ocean during a rain storm

On an anniversary with my husband

The rain sounding like it was hitting glass

The sound unlike any I had heard before

I have swam over a barrier reef 

In shock and awe at what I didn't know existed

I have been in a forest of bamboo

In total quiet 

In all of this I have been in awe of you

Creator

The wonder of all you have done

This canvas of love 

Displayed for all

As I look out my window

Willing the mountains to speak

Marvelling at Apple Blossoms 

At sunsets

At you
