Restoration

I leave my four walls and walk away from the hardness And coldness of my surroundings I find the steps that have no footprints Deep into nature’s sanctuary With each step I feel more alive And regain a part of myself I need this I ache for this I have longed for this Each step brings with it The awareness of how long it’s actually been I plant my feet on the softness Of the earth I breathe in uncorrupted air pure and healing I sit on pillows of the greenest mosses And fill my senses Nature’s aria Scents that I savor The peace, oh God yes, the peace I close my eyes as my emotions settle God how beautiful you have made this world This is the inner sanctum The true holy of holies It restores my soul Invigorates my devotion to you Blesses me with an ardor for life And brings me peace There is harmony between Mind, body and soul A union between myself, nature, and You And I am in one accord Each time when I visit I wonder Have I stayed away too long Once again will you be able to revivify me to consciousness Resuscitate my spirit and make me whole And always the answer is Amen
