WALKING THE LABYRINTH
One foot in front of the other
Experiencing and sharing its beauty
Slowing down
Being in touch with Mother Earth
In great company and energy
The earth beneath my feet
Stirs my inner journey
Prayer is such a simple thing
A gift to send to Anne
She is here
Says the wind
As I train my mind to listen
A little bird cocks its head
At last I notice
Looking up from the path to spy
Rocky curves ahead of me
Throws me into fear of failing
Until I see the path knows
Memorial stones inspire
“Live in the now
It is home”
Moving through circles
My destination being center
This uneven trail like life
I go within
Breathe
I am present
The Labyrinth clears
Answers are profound
Meaningful and beautiful
Notice the shadows intertwined
Among friends and the setting sun
