Visiting the Country
my heart still remembers
the weekend I took away
a time to rest
a time to slow my body down
hard to sit still
allowing myself
the luxury of
slowing down the rhythm
visiting the country
hearing the sounds of nature
watching a beautiful full moon
hearing the stillness
taking a ride in the car
seeing beautiful old barns
silos
corn fields and tobacco growing
planting my feet
where my grandmother
once lived and farmed
feeling overwhelmed
a visit to the country
is a time to just let go
appreciate all that is around me
forgetting busy stuff for just a short while
restful
beautiful
nature all around
simplicity in living
my visit to the country
