In celestial grounds,
Surrounded by lakes and fountains
Fine arches and temples to
Ancient Gods and Goddesses
I meditate on life's gifts and diversity

Here among the misty morning shadows
Under the rich copper foliage
Of an ancient tree of life
I watch it swaying seductively
Metallic branches
Gentle movements of mist clouds
On a sultry green lake
Mellow sunlight trickling through
The arches and trees
Casting intricate gray shadows
In sheltered profusion
Creating a magical dreamworld
Of nature and wonderment

Here in this mystical safe place
Neither heaven nor earth
In deep thought and reflection
I am able to see my life
And marvel at it's complexity and meaning
The stark beauty of existence
Connecting to the natural world
In spiritual continuity with Heaven

I can rejoice in the simplest of things
The quality of light, water and growing things
The sweet, fresh smell of the earth and leaves
The whispering magic of water
Moving through the air
Birdsong and quiet voices of lovers
Visions, sounds and smells of life in celebration
A festival of being
In a world of profound complexity and vitality
