My Sanctuary

The scent of Balsam Fir Incense fills my home, breeze blowing it around
Without the soft music playing, there wouldn’t be much of any sound
It is quiet here on the hill, where I live and also find my inner peace
Safe at home where all the feelings can be so easily released
Every changing season brings its own kind of beauty here to me
In winter when the leaves fall, the distant mountains I can see
                         --- This is my sanctuary ---
