Hidden from View

Walking upon a steep path,
past tall, brooding evergreens,
I come upon a sunlit meadow
alight with blooming anemones.
Here I stop to rest and ponder.

Across a small green valley
rises the rugged mountain
I dared myself to climb;
its bleak, silent peak hidden
in a bank of ominous grey clouds.

As I consider this climb
in forbidding terrain,
a gust of summer wind whispers:
"There will always be things
along the road of life
which are not clear, or create fear
but don't let your doubts
undermine a winning hand.

Though your eyes may not see
the path unwinding
or the obstacles strewn along the way,
there is a part of you that always knows:
trust this knowing, for it knows
the ways hidden from the senses.

Let inner wisdom guide you
and you will surely arrive
at your destination."

That was a real delight to read Wind Walker
I think one of your best, Take care.

Really enjoyed reading this. Thank you. I had once found such a place,it did not reveal as much to me, but for some reason the beauty  hidden in this out door room caused me to  sit quietly upon a rock and let the tears flow. latearrival

Windwalker - Strange it is that we humans have a hidden inner voice that tells us right from wrong, good from bad. The irony is that we so often don't listen or that we just stop listening. Sometimes, a serene setting gives us a second chance to hear. Thanks WW. Namyh
