Empty Hands

 

If you go outside often,

you could be blessed; 

enclosed by the golden glow

and vibrant colors

of an October afternoon.

You could find a quiet place

to sit still, with empty hands

and wide open senses,

and allow the peace

of the present landscape

to enter your busy brain

and your hungry heart.

And after you inhale the silence,

and sense the serenity,

you will feel renewed;

knowing what is true,

and eager to carry it with you

inside your satisfied soul.
