The Place Where Nothing Matters

It’s a misty morning with a frosty chill
My feet crunch the leaves as I walk the hill
Into the forest many steps I take
Then through a clearing I see the lake

The water sparkles as the sun peeps through
The breaks in the cloud reveal patches of blue
Mist kisses the surface as insects dance
Mesmerising patterns inducing a trance

The only sounds are nature’s treat
The birds, the breeze, branches that creak
Tranquility brings to me such peace
It warms the heart and gives release

I sit awhile upon a log
My mind clears and lifts the fog
There’s so much beauty around me here
It helps me treasure what is dear

I turn around to find the track
And through the woods I head off back
The trees stand tall I smell the fern
So much to see, so much to learn

Not long before I reach the car
It seemed like miles, but wasn’t far
The traffic roars, the peace is shattered
I’ve left the place where nothing matters
