Gentleness of Life

I feel the wind

gently brushing my hair,

and the sun on my skin,

warming my soul,

from the outside in.

I feel content,

sitting here,

by myself,

with the city sounds,

playing in the background.

I feel a love,

deep in my heart,

that deepens,

with each moment.

I feel connected,

more than ever before,

to God,

and to myself.

I want to be here,

in this place,

where I embrace,

the gentleness of life.

Then I realize,

for the first time,

this is what peace,

feels like!
