May Peaceful Place

I want all of you to see my peaceful place,

a sanctuary I visit for peaceful walks

on a long path that always welcomes me.

Just a short walk from my house   

a beautiful river surrounded by evergrees

waits for me, where my soul is refreshed,

where I feel connected with every living thing.

I go there because it is quiet and beautiful.

I go there because as I experience nature

and walk the trail, I feel whole again and new.

I go there because my peaceful place

is my refuge from all of the storms of life. 

As I walk I empty myself of everything 

and as I walk I am filled with joy and peace.
