Rich colors of amber and gold
Memories that never turn old
Nature’s caress surrounding me
Images brought alive with a plea
Whispers of kindness embracing
Love’s gentleness I’m surely facing
Intimacy touches my heart’s mystery
Reminding me of the love in my history
Shelter from all that brings strife
Chance to know hope in this life
Refuge from harm across the ridges
Discovering a gentle flow beneath bridges
Sweet haven of hope sent to my heart
Where God and I will never be apart
This preserve from all that is painful
Bringing nothing of anything disdainful
Mountains bring me the greatest sanctuary
Asylum that keeps me from the adversary
Protection from all that is beyond control
The worries and despair inside a loophole
This safe place where I can pray to my Father
Reminds me that I am not just an awful bother
I reach to heaven with my penned words
Where nouns and verbs fly like the birds
Intimate thoughts dance to the angel’s song
Encouraging my heart to always remain strong
