My Refuge

As the air hangs heavy o'er the still dark night, and the crickets are courting as the fireflies light. I stroll through the valley deep in thought once again, unable to release all the turmoil and pain. The leaves whisper softly as they dance in the sky, but I pay them no heed as I break down and cry. The wind calls my name but falls on deaf ears, for the pounding of my heart is all that I hear. Yes I've abandoned little things that used to mean so much, in the serenity of my surroundings I've hopelessly lost touch. I drop to my knees as my heart screams to the sky, for someone to save me or hear my cry. Then peace floods my soul and I feel so free, in the heart of my refuge it's just God and me.
