Peace Filled My Soul


My soul began to float
Away from my body
The throbbing in my heart
Seemed to be washed away,
The silence in the valley
Filled my soul,
Finally I am at peace.

Was it the wind blowing over?
Like a cool blanket holding me in a cuddle,
Or was it the greenery of the valley,
That was luring away my troubled soul?

I stood at the banks of the stream
Trying hard to smile,
As the Sun’s ray fell on the stream
Like a mirror’s reflection, there was my face.

I looked around me
Everywhere I could see life
The churning stream’s sound
Reminded me of girls laughter,
The swaying leafs of, children on a swing.

The squirrels running about,
The birds carrying twigs,
The ants making their nests,
The bee’s humming’s……..

Everything around me
Was, so full of life.
As though an aura of energy
Draped the valley.

I again looked at the stream
And there, was a smiling face.
Was it the aura of energy?
Draping the valley,
That lit through my face?
I stood there unsure, watching the smile
Like a river joining the sea,
The peace of the valley filled in my soul.
