A poem for when you need to slow down and breathe.

Slow down and breathe.
This Magnificent Wild


it's not far
not far at all

look up
follow the pines

the scent is on the wind
one more step, my friend

over the threshold
and into the wild

flowers of gold
carefree as a child

there is more to life
than hustle and rush

listen to the wind
hear the sacred hush

feel your own presence
gentle and mild

embrace the pace
of this magnificent wild
