Thank You to the Goddess on a Peaceful Night

Walking one night, on a road by a field,

I walk by a young oak tree with wind blowing through its winter-dry leaves.
I stop and look at the stars shining brightly through the moonless sky.
A small, lonely, wispy cloud floats by, silently watching me from above.

It's cold but I am warm, and an unexpected sense of peace, of right, rolls through me.

Just a simple, sudden, unexpected moment in time,
In a clear, cold night,
I found a peaceful moment where I didn't expect to find one.

Sometimes, that's how it goes;
Sometimes, that's all we need.

Just a note to say thank you, Goddess -
Thank you for giving me a moment of your peace
In an otherwise hectic night.
