I stand in the forest

Surrounded by trees

And I glimpse the feeling

Of air gliding through the branches

 

I stand on the cliff

Surrounded by oblivion

And I glimpse the feeling

Of birds flying over the expanse

 

I stand on the beach

Surrounded by water

And I glimpse the feeling

Of waves rising and crashing

 

I stand in the field

Surrounded by flowers

And I glimpse the feeling

Of being utterly beautiful

 

I stand after the storm

Surrounded by rainbows

And I glimpse the feeling

Of the Creator’s love

 

I stand…Surrounded
