Peace

Rugged mountains

As far my eye can see,

I stand in awe

Of God’s beauty.

Step canyon walls

Seem without end,

As shadows lengthen,

Turn and bend.

A lonely cry

Escapes from me,

Surprising me

With its intensity.

A sighing wind

Caresses my face,

And I know that

I am not alone in this place.

Peace,

Encompasses me,

As God’s arms

Surround me.
