finding peace in the world

Chasing the wind running barefoot while
Sunshine warms the undulating hill
children fly kites and old ladies have tea on blankets
Not old ladies - happy ladies with red hats
I smile as I pass them - they are so content to watch
mommies loving their babies and daddies loving their families

There is hot dog man at his cart ringing a bell and laughing with the ice cream man beside him
Lovers line up holding hands at the carts - waiting , and yet not waitning - just "being" and passing the time with idle chatter, stolen kisses and laughter

Mother Nature is happy - there is a man watering flowers and grooming the grass
while babies toddle barefoot - ladies keep watch as they meander the park path
people ride by on bicycles waving -cheerful and sunny people
my heart is singing with the birds who are frolickning in trees and rehearsing love songs
there is a memory of closeness to those people I have lost somewhere and I know they are here dancing with me on the breeze - no regrets - just joy in sharing space and time - somewhere out of space and time

Chasing the wind , running barefoot in the sun, head high, heart smiling
i am choosing to find peace in the world at this very moment

and I invite you dear reader, to add your experience to the story ....
