I took one step, and I was in another world It was my usual walk, the same route The same sights and sounds The same thoughts, feelings, preoccupations And now all was changed Subtle but there could be no mistake That one step changed everything There was a hush in my world A sense of stillness and peace It was a benediction. I continued my walk The bird songs, the flowers, the trees All were the same yet different A squirrel darted in front of a car I knew he would be safe There is no death in this world. My agitated mind at peace There had been expectancy Mysteriously it came It was a gift It has no name Thank you, Spirit.
