As I sit near the fiery embers
I can feel the heat almost engulfing me
almost touching the skin of my
face, arms, and feet.
The warmth of the fire
becomes nostalgic to me
and reassures me and reminds me
of the comfort of my own home.
I see the figure of the full moon
radiantly gleaming in the dim sky
and I am in awe of the world as I tune in
the muffles of chatter and laughter
of everyone around me.
The grass prickles my bare feet
and the wind’s breeze brushes against my neck.
I close my eyes and feel at peace
as these sensations keep me alert.
Here I am sitting in a place void of
stress and worries and anxiousness
and I can finally focus on
those that surround me and
the beauty of my own surroundings.
In this moment I find that
I am at ease and relaxed
and I am calm.
