Journey
Lost in Nature
Sun's golden glean cascades over the peak
To brush reflections where the black waters lay
The sunlight paints the enchantment I seek
And offers scenes of a glowing ballet
I close my eyes while in this sacred place
Where only the sound of my breath is heard
My soul's dim light is a flickering trace
And trembles like a child searching for words
I grasp the knowledge of my spirit's flaw
As Nature's masterpiece welcomes my eyes
My soul's found naked, my heart's pierced in awe
I am moved to smallness beneath its skies
How slow the sun sets to quell its dim light
How quickly it falls, silent in the night
