There Is A Place

There is a place in my soul:


     Where the grass is green and soft and lush,

     Where the smell of freshly cut lawns and hay sing inside your senses,

     And the fireflies dance an amber dance across the openness.

There is a place in my soul:

     Where the snow is pure and white,

     Where the wintry air cleanses your heart and mind,

     And your eyes are engulfed by the essence of light.

There is a place in my soul:

     Where a brilliant palate of a thousand hues brings heaven near,

     Where you can taste the air and its hope of Fall,

     And your ears are delighted by the crisp sounds ‘neathe your feet of those who lived.

There is a place in my soul:

     Where vast fields of waving grain invite your touch,

     Where brooks invite your toes,

     And shapely clouds await your gaze.

There is a place in my soul:

     Where My Love lives,

     Where every memory, every taste, every sound, every smell, remind me of home,

     And there is my peace.

There is a place on this earth:

     Where my soul belongs and my true love lives,

     Where I’ll be returning,

     And the odyssey complete.
