As I wander up the hilly path

My thoughts rest with every breath

My steps move rhythmically on

Calming me, one by one

The purple carpet of thyme like a sea

Feels like nature welcoming me

To rest in this space and turn off my mind

To be still in this place and gently unwind

And as I feel on my face the free fresh breeze

And listen to its rustling the leaves in the trees

And notice the greenfinch’s spluttering wheeze

I realise that I am completely at ease
