Refuge

You step outside
and drink it all in
musing about life
and the hope within

You wonder if this
is the heart of it all
while the kites glide
the leaves start to fall

You gaze at the world
the fury and the pain
the grasses sway
will peace ever reign?

You pause for a while
pray for the best
accept the kernel
everything is blessed

You wake up to light
and treasure the gift
the journey to joy
wherever you drift

You realise the truth
safety is a place
that resides in the mind
a gateway to grace

You stay alert
to the power above
the radiant roses
the fragrance of love
