Secret Place

In this quiet place…            

      there is peace. 

In this quiet place…            

      there is only the sight of God’s natural beauty enjoying itself. 

In this quiet place…

      there is only the smell of living growth lifting towards the sun.

In this quiet place…            

       there is only the sound of water trickling down over the rocks.  

In this quiet place…            

        there is only the touch of the wind angel’s barely-there caresses.  

In this quiet place…            

        there is only the taste of mother-earth’s nourishment.  

In this quiet place…             

        there is the peace of angel love.  

Thank you, God.
