Softly close your eyes, letting them ease and relax, 

and snuggle in your bed,

Sinking deep into its arms,

feeling the cool sheets support and cradle you.

LONG PAUSE

Now, allow your mind to let go,

to release the stray thoughts weighing it down.

And let your breath form a gentle, relaxing rhythm,

breathing in… and out… In… and out…  

LONG PAUSE

Your body relaxes more, and you feel yourself open,

to the quiet magic of the night. 

A magic that lives and breathes in nature all around you,

and is inviting you to come along.

PAUSE

Imagine an egret, regal and white,

poised next to your bed,

Angel-like wings spread wide

readying for flight.

PAUSE

The egret beckons you

to take to the air.

So gingerly. you slide on his back,

releasing your cares.

And those cares tumble down

as you give a cleansing heave.

The bird turns his head,

He's ready to leave.

PAUSE

You glide out the window

and skim the tops of the trees.

There's a rhythm to the wings’ flapping

as they catch a breeze.

PAUSE 

Above,

the stars wink at you,

those heavenly diamonds of the light

Below, an owl hoots.

Nature’s guardian of night

PAUSE

The egret circles ‘round the clouds.

You pass over the moon 

like a wave with no sound.

Then the egret flies gently–

ever so gently– down,

Until you both touch the forest ground.

PAUSE

And you notice these woods

are different from woods you know.

Instead of being cloaked in darkness this night,

The flora and fauna glow.

PAUSE

You take a step,

and leaves crackle beneath your foot.

The ground shimmers in gold

as you walk and look.

PAUSE

To each side there are flowers

glistening like the stars–

Purples, greens, pinks and blues

And beautiful sparkles in trees and shrubs afar

PAUSE

A pine tree shines in green 

with its pine cones in silver.

It looks divinely different, and yet,

comfortably familiar.

PAUSE

And you pick a pine cone up

Enamored with its glow

Then set it back down

gentle and slow.

PAUSE

Nearby, two raccoons chitter

while peeking out from pink shrubs.

In the distance,

 a snoozing mother wolf

cuddles her drowsy cubs.

PAUSE

A doe and a buck pause, 

looking you in the eye.

Then scamper away 

deep in the night..

PAUSE

Now, the bird spreads its wings

and calls you once more.

Without hesitation, 

you climb aboard.

PAUSE

Fly past the moon and trees,

back to your bed,

with the nature’s magic night 

cozied up in your head.

LONG PAUSE…

As you sleep with Mother Nature,

You realize one thing.

We’re all deeply connected,

And together, we sing. 

Namaste, Beautiful
