Night settles all around me
I sit and let it in
darkness soft like velvet
seeping deep within

A feeling of contentment
washes over me
as I become One with Nature
as I am meant to be

Sometimes I forget this
when my mind is full of worry
when it spins out of control
in a constant exhausting hurry

When the ego takes control
and sends me on a mad chase
looking everywhere for peace
except the right place

As I sit here in the darkness
my path glowing crystal clear
I am thankful for my Angels
for I know that they are near

I’ve a gift that they’ve given me
which is not mine to keep
words to comfort others
when their climb gets steep

Now I know my purpose
the reason I am here
to share my simple verses
for everyone to hear.
