Nature Brings Serenity



SERENE


SHADOWS CAST LONG ON THESE NIGHTS.
AS THE STARS LOOK DOWN LIKE THE WATCHING EYES OF ANGELS.


A COOL BREEZE UPON THE FACE REMINDS,
THAT THE BREATH OF THE MOON CARESSES THE LAND.
AND IT'S LIGHT CRADLES THE HEART.


WHETHER YOU WALK ALONE OR HAND IN HAND.
THIS IS A PLACE THAT YOU WILL FIND THE SOLACE OF THE SOUL,
THE SPIRIT OF GOD.


THE BIRTH OF DREAMS LAY HERE AS WELL.
SMALL CHILDREN CHASE RAINBOWS.
LOVERS CARESS.
A MIDNIGHT STORM OF ALL THAT YOU ARE.


THE ACHE OF THE WORLD DISAPPEARS,
AND ONLY LOVE REMAINS.
WHISPERED GENTLY LIKE FALLING VIRGIN SNOW.


SO COME HERE WHEN YOU NEED TO BE HELD,
OR YOUR TEARS NEED TO FLOW.
UPON MY SHOULDER YOUR TEARS WILL DRY.
THESE WORDS MY ARMS TO HOLD.
