Finding Himself in Nature
Deep in the heart of the forest
He lingers a moment to rest
He knows well his destination
Two hours meander his estimation
Finding the oldest tree of all, he hesitates
Sat, leant against the trunk he meditates
High within the mountain peaks
Within himself answers he seeks
All the world below somewhere
Quietly he finds his spot up there
Sheltered by cairn, thoughts he elevates
Gale rages all around as he meditates
Waves roar as they crash upon beach
Yet he’s here some wisdom to reach
Upon his rock facing the wildest sea
Spray washed, alive he feels such empathy
As once again he enters altered states
In the heart of the storm, he meditates
Natural wonder he found all around
Emanating from deep within the ground
Carried on the wind, the rain and snow
Seeking answers in caves or plateau
Whatever journey he undertakes
Wherever he goes, he meditates
I have meditated since my teenage years (a little while ago)
and although I love to meditate on trains, my preferred
location is always within nature
