Five Senses Awakened

Rock solid is the ground you have set me on

A light breeze ruffles my hair and cools my skin

A feast of color lays before my eyes

As flowers of every color sway gently in the field

Their sweet scent tickles my nostrils

My feet carry me forward

The long grasses caress my bare legs as I walk

Gravity carries me quickly down the sloping hill to a beach

Where I kick off my shoes to feel the warm sand

between my toes and on my soles, massaging them

I listen to the ocean’s voice as it laps upon the shore

Every sense is attuned to the life around me

My spirit filled with the splendor and the peace

And I sigh

I am content

And I thank the Creator
