Walking down an ancient road
Trees surrounding
both sides
Create a tunneled
canopy
Quietness, yet so
much noise
Looking up into the
canopied trees
Busy squirrels fit
and scurry
Bees and other
insects are buzzing
Birds chirping their
song
Leaves on the trees
are wrestling
Ever so gently in the
wind
If you stop and listen
It seems like music
Passing through this
nature-made tunnel
It opens up to a
great expanse
Mountains, a meadow,
a river, and trees
The beauty is
magnificent
I hear, “Sit and rest
a while.”
A large rock is handy,
so I sit
Gazing out onto
the beautiful landscape
Pondering as I sit
God’s wonderful
creative imagination
Created all of this
The rugged beauty and
restful to the eyes
Breathing in the
freshness of the air
Sensing a holy
presence near
Here I am on holy
ground
For the Lord God is
here
The stillness and
quiet within me
I take in His glory
as I breathe
My senses are so
awakened
My body fully one
with Him
The symphony of sound
surrounds me
All of Creation seems to respond
I also hear angelic
beings
Added to this song
Oh! I do not wish to
leave this place
This holy ground I’m
on
For here are Peace and
Righteousness
Encompassing all
around
Yet again, the Voice I
hear.
“Stay as long as you
like, my dear.
You are welcome
anytime.
To come and sit
beside me.
In My fullness with
Creation here.”
