It’s been a while
Since I scooped
A fistful of flowers
From the meadows green.
It’s been a while
Since I watched a bird
Hover over a branch
To perch and preen.
It’s been a while
Since I walked bare-feet
O’er the tingling grass
Wet with the dew of dawn
It’s been a while
Since I stole a song
From the hum of the breeze
And the sounds of morn.
It’s been a while
Since I stood in the shade
To squint at the sun
Through the fluttering leaves
It’s been a while
Since I stretched my hand
To catch the rain
Falling from the eaves.
It’s been a while
Since I slowed down
Without any need
For my hours to fill.
It’s been a while
Since the silence seeped
Through my senses
And my thoughts stood still.
