Sanctuary of Peace.

Goldfinch60



The narrow path is before me,

I walk along it, between the wheat,

The greenness of it all around me.

The bright sun shining down,

Down on the ripening sheaves

And on my life of peace and joy.

Ahead I see an arched gate

I open it and walk into the Sanctuary,

A wonder of trees, shrubs and peace.

I walk slowly around this heaven

As the Spirit of Nature pulls me,

Pulls me into its haven,

Its haven of beauty, peace and love.

I sit and my mind wanders

Combines with the Spirit around me

Taken into the glory that is within me,

That Sanctuary of love,

Love for my world.

  • Comment from author about the poem: As the organiser of a poetry group I was asked by a member of a local Heritage Trust if I would like to visit then as they are intending to set up a Poetry area. I was shown around and all looked fine but then I was asked if I would like to visit their Sanctuary. I did and hence these words.

            Beautiful. Close my eyes and I am there in the sanctuary, between the trees and shrubs , meditating. 🙂
