“Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are ‘patches of Godlight’ in the woods of our experience.” (C. S Lewis)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As sunlight sets the stream aglow,
Reflecting patterns on a stream,
And quiet ripples gently flow,
Making the water shine and gleam.
Reflecting patterns on a stream,
With misty haze from cooling spray,
Making the water shine and gleam,
As muted shadows softly play.
With misty haze from cooling spray,
Pure thoughts of peace caress my mind
As muted shadows softly play,
I leave life’s problems far behind.
Pure thoughts of peace caress my mind
A sanctuary of harmony,
I leave life’s problems far behind,
As spring plays her symphony.
A sanctuary of harmony,
My quiet refuge of release,
As spring plays her symphony,
I free my mind to feel her peace.
My quiet refuge of release,
As quiet ripples gently flow,
I free my mind to feel her peace,
As sunlight sets the stream aglow.
