Barefoot in the Stone garden

When my soul feels weary and weak 
and I struggle to find the light…
To be in the stone garden is all I seek, traipsing along barefooted in delight.

When my body is bruised and sore
and my fingers worked to the bone,
I close my eyes once more 
and I’m in the garden of stone.

When my mind seems to be going mad and my heart feels too tired for more… 
I think of all the moments I’ve had 
barefoot in the stone garden I adore. 

Often I close my eyes and dream 
of the stone and moss beneath my feet…
I hear the soft babbling of a stream 
And the morning choir begins to tweet.

The flowers of every hue begin to show 
as morning breaks on the glory before me, 
when I cease to exist, somehow I know, barefoot in the stone garden my soul shall forever be…
