Home

A haven, an oasis, a magical place

a sample, mere example, a heavenly taste

where the cats quietly purr, and in the shade the dogs nap,

and where I take my turn resting in God's protective lap.

And the gentle mountain breeze

softly caresses the trees

and calls us to prayer

sweeping praise in the air.

And as I listen

and the sun brightly glistens

the birds proclaim in tune

this is God's holy room.

While down on my knees

I feel the earth breathe

I lay down in the grass

wishing this moment would not pass.

Then I catch a sweet scent

a divine accent

must be God's perfume

heavenly blossom's in bloom. 

In my heart, I am blessed

to be given this rest

I look to the sky

wondering to myself "why"?

What have I done to deserve this space?

This moment alone, to bask in God's grace?

Yet for me alone, it wasn't a prize

It was only I, who had opened my eyes.

This is God's World. We are always standing on holy ground, surrounded by reminders of his Love. But we must take the time, to stop and look, and listen with our hearts.
