A Sheltered Path
There is a place where nature sings
to you in its gentle tones;
the solitude it often brings
when you walk its path alone.

Look closely at this sheltered path,
its beauty will touch your soul;
a quietness that seems to cast
shadows of light about to unfold.

Walk down this path towards a new horizon,
its many branches hold off the sway,
while you look for your own special beacon
that leads you safely to a better day.

The beauty of the world that surrounds you
peaks interest in the journey beyond;
so push forward toward a life that will renew
and reflect on what had once been your bond.

Seek the peacefulness of this place deep in your soul,
and let it cleanse you of life’s daily routine.
Take time to respond to the nature you behold
a soothing balm, as you become serene.
