Sanctuary
A gentle breeze composed a rhythmic ballad
that danced throughout the lavish branches and
bountiful terrain of nature's divine savanna
A melodic weeping from a nearby willow
serenaded the new dawn like a morning lullaby
Abundant blades of amber and green
adorned the grassy knoll
each stalk aligned like perfect little soldiers
standing guard over their precious mother earth
Perched high upon the timber angelic wings of birds that sing
embellished the leafy branches
some preaching to a higher cause
while others proudly rested on their laurels
A candescent sky illuminates a flowing stream
Transforming the water into a pallet of extraordinary colors
Serenity is found in the dawn of each day
and sanctuary is in the moments
that take your breath away
