A Quiet Place
Deep in the forest
Where silence blends
The whisper of leaves, dancing
With the wind’s gentle breath…
There among the laurels, the pines
Mossy logs and boulders
Where the creek splashes and burbles
Gushing with enthusiasm…
Where the melody of wrens
Shakes hands with robin and swallow,
Promising the hearer who listens
Quiet, absorbed in the woods
Admiring butterflies who soar by…
Where there is only the joy, the peace
The hope and the sense of belief
Inspiring the moment, the heart’s beating
Echoing the joy that comes to praise
With a song that abides in the sunlight’s gaze
Where stardust caresses an iridescent moon
Glowing with favor, graceful and pure
Welcoming the prayerful sincerity
Enduring the darkness with its doubtful hue
Reflecting the love that rains through the clouds…
In this quiet place, where I always find…
Blessings beyond what my heart can define
Beauty more powerful than I could possibly design
Bountiful wisdom that comes from the sounds
Breaking through the silence with peace so loud...
It sounds almost like God’s voice booming down,
The wonder of this place…
It is so alive, just like our faith!
