“Lord, lend me a home in your world’s sanctuary
Just a humble abode would delight all of me
Let it be near all that sings out, the chorus of We
And nightly rests in, your Heart’s deep Mystery.
I would love to be granted one next to a Tree
Oh for Love- there I feel, amidst Branches of Thee.”

Druidic – a forest is a temple, when we come to know nature we find we cannot improve upon it, embrace it, and know it IS love and love is our nature …

I am happy that you liked this, Sherline. In a way, we are or “can be” surrounded in the Beauty, it is God’s Heart and the song that beckons us Home. Love to you, Linda

Oh, Linda, I love this. There is no grander cathedral than the forest; no pipe as soulful as the morning call of swallow; or stained glass to imitate sunlight through the branches. I have visited some amazing churches over my years, but there is almost nowhere that I feel as close to God as when I am a part of that which He created in the days before He created me……. 🙂 Absolutely wonderful! ~ Love you, Bobbie

This one nearly brought me to tears–that first line sounds like the beginning of a hymn, Linda.

I also, could feel tears to feel this one. Perhaps a deep spirituality and humility, as well as life experience is needed to really “feel” its wording.
