Nirvana


I walk an overgrown path

fearful of the unknown but

relax in Nirvana and continue

the path leads to my Mecca-

a bench by the creek.

Sun filters through my canopy

of trees created by God.

The woodsy scent is intoxicating

and I drink it in.

This holy moment of peace will

get me through the unknown.

Life doesn't have to be easy to be good--

Only well-lived with great memories of joy and peace.

God is only a thought away so all that all that is needed

is to speak His name and find the peace

that can ease any anxiety.

for my Dad's upcoming surgery.
