I retreat to the edge of a canyon nearby
With a river flowing within it
To sit and relax and gaze at the sky
Escaping from life‘s hours and minutes
My thoughts fly away and float on the clouds
Reflecting on questions and hope
All answers perceived were never avowed
Just my heart trying to cope
I cease all my queries and race with the wind
in awe at the beauty of earth
Rejoicing existence, not why, where or when
filled with the blessing of birth
