Gazing across the green field

Into the far, far

Distant skyline of London,

Suddenly

The birds stopped chirping.

The air is still.

The white clouds,

The blue sky,

Like a painting.

Time stood still on Hampstead Heath.

This moment of pure magic,

No tension,

No stress.

When time is irrelevant,

All the problems of this world

Are at a pause,

Irrelevant in my mind.

A perfect synthesis was just born;

Where Yin and Yang meet in the middle,

Where heaven and earth merge,

Where man and nature synthesise.

A sense of ageless eternity

When youth is not youth,

Old is not old.

The paradox of being

Disappears.

I am one,

With time,

Into eternity…
