What Brings Me Peace

A soft nicker in the morning dawn,
A warm nose and breath of welcome,
Offered in curiosity of the moment,
In a reminder to be with this creature in the now.

The sight of a flock of geese in formation,
Mate at side and beautiful in flight,
Offered in Mother Nature's beauty,
In a reminder to be with these creatures in the now.

The welcoming outstretched branches of an ancient Oak,
Standing tall in the afternoon sun,
Offered in harmony as a refuge,
In a reminder to be with the earth in the now.

When I stop in my rush to be,
When I remember what is important,
When I remember who and what I truly am,
These are the things that bring me peace.
