Sanctuary

Let the wind blow me 
Far away to a distant place 
Where tranquility is my sanctuary 
Where the suns shines warm upon my face 
Let the darkness slowly fade away 
Let me hear the laughter of yesterday 
When I walked on air 
and smiles were constant 
Let me feel the water lapping at my feet 
Washing away the memories 
That linger, the ones that won’t delete 
Let me sit under green canopies 
Content in natures arms 
Take my mind and let it wander 
Sands of time sifting through my toes 
Let the light illuminate my path yonder 
take my hand and guide me to my sweet
repose
