Mirror
of the Soul,
the heart of Nature
shelters the freedom within.
Knowing each other's heart,
alive and filled with infinite compassion
merging streams are flowing
into the waters of creation.
The light is shining through the forest
like sparkles of a child's laughter
hanging on the leaves of peace.
Holding on that feeling...
Not a thought to disturb the beauty of it all.
Becoming one...
