The Hidden Nature Trail

To get away from the noise daily heard around me, I decided I would take a hike up the one mountain which has stirred me with its beauty, for I’ve had an ache to leave the world’s commotion for a while. I took the normal path but felt compelled to wander off it. Then after a mile, I found a hidden spot which magic held. I ducked beneath low hanging limbs of trees. A songbird’s chirp had lured me to that place. I followed that old trail as summer’s breeze caressed me. Soon I felt as if God’s grace embraced me too. Nearby a brook I lay in utter bliss and wishing I could stay!
