The earth stopped me in my tracks today
As I set out for a walk
Sometimes I can just feel it
As I step out of the door
A different and altered state
I know it’s coming as I head up the road and turn the corner
Onto the cliff path
And as I arrive above the sea
It announces itself with quiet fanfare
Iridescent shimmering alive soft
Shoals of fish move as my eyes try to follow them
On the land, cabbage white butterflies dart and hover
Blackberries in abundance
The land whispers
A seagull calls
The sheep are not in the field
Moved to another field, I see them across the valley
Things to do, my mind jumps to daily details
What to make for supper
How to paint a certain commission
Should I be doing more?
No
This moment is life
It’s what we are born for
Don’t rush through it
Sit, look, feel
How quickly life passes
These late summer moments are everything
Stay.
