That Place in the Woods

In that place in the woods,

As the sun

beams upon my face,

I sit in awe at the music

You create.

While the birds in the trees

Are twittering, chittering,

Chatting about their day,

Tap-tap-tapping away..

The breeze dances through the trees,

Scattering the leaves

And whispering to me

The lovely secrets it keeps.

Laughter and love quietly shout

To remind me what it's always about.

The peaceful existence fills my soul

And prepares my heart for battles untold..

I sit back and watch,

as the birds flitter by,

Knowing that soon,

I'll have to say goodbye.

To return to a land

that's lost sight of it all,

And take up my sword

And remind them to pause...

To remember the Savior,

Who died for us all,

And the God who loves us,

Sin and all.
