Alpine Reflections

Atop a piste

I wander in search of inward peace


Whilst the wind calmly blows

serenity flows

Such that the heart eventually mellows

To mush


Peering around the peaks that abound

I take it all in

Attempting to temper the rush

Treasuring the moment, basking in it


Breath in

Exhale

Let go


Let's go


Sink deeper within

Love thy self and thy kin

Less easily forged than said

When self-criticism is so hard to shed


Yet amongst the forest

I feel at rest

Freedom overcomes and

Love grows as thick as the trunks of trees

As I dance amongst the honey bees


Bouncing barefoot from soil to rock

Elated, playing, celebrating

Picking blue spurts of tastiness

Sweetness fuelling the adventurous

Breath in

Exhale

Let go


Let's go


As one foot steps in front of the other

I recall a reflection that I’ve learned to treasure


Of how harbouring anger holds no value


It only results in clouds of sorrow

Like socked in mist in a drizzly cove

Negativity lingers until we are froze

Distorting our vision in a crazed dazed haze of lows


Though, as I learn to choose love, gratitude and kindness

The grey mist softly becomes adrift

Lifting to reveal clear skies of contentedness


With self compassion

We can create, imagine and inspire

And the world can be all of what we desire


For life truly is a wondrous gift


Breath in

Exhale

Let go


Let’s go


Plunging into a brisk aqua bliss

Cleanses the swirling thoughts that hiss

Quell the noise

Regain poise


Forgo focus on the past and future

Awed by beauty of wondrous nature


Immersed within the sublime Alpine


There is no need of knowing of time

There is no need of responsibilities, expectations

or anticipations


With dirt underneath fingernails

I have not a care, woe or worry

Feeling fancy free to frolic with glee


Knowing that I am exactly where I am meant to be

And I am exactly who I am meant to be



Breath in

Exhale

Let go



Let’s go
