Portals into the Infinite

Admire a beautiful flower
Feel it’s petal’s softness
It’s folds and dainty curves
And soak in it’s tenderness

Lie on the wet grass
Feel the life in it’s wildness
Touch it’s elegant blades
And melt into it’s gladness

Gaze into an animal’s eyes
Acknowledge what it says
Receive the gift it gives
In silent wordless ways

Look at the starry sky
Stay with the awe it brings
Hear the music of the universe
Feel the joy with which it sings

Touch the mud beneath your feet
Feel the heartbeat of the earth
Dance to the rhythm of the planet
And join in with nature’s mirth

There are so many portals here
Portals into the infinite
Portals waiting to take you
Into your own heart’s delight
