Beneath the Hemlock
I am at ease
My heart calm
As my mind.

Beneath the Hemlock
I am at peace
As I sit
In the soft grass and shade.

Beneath the Hemlock
My eyes closed
Back against the rough bark
I am at peace.

Beneath the Hemlock
I slightly doze
As the wind
Dances through my hair.

Beneath the Hemlock
Where I sit
And meditate
And find peace in the silence.
