Restoration
Virginia Salter

she stood alone out on a desert night
cool, gentle breezes
brushed the tresses of her hair
and caressed her tender cheeks

starlight sparkled,
meteors danced upon the Milky Way
crescent moon shone its dreamland
as owls hooted in the wind

her soles could feel
the massive stone beneath her feet
as the fringe that edged her buckskin
swayed to and fro in streamer’s glee

much peace always enjoyed
in her retreat upon this knoll
it was as if the very Master
lingered near to make her whole

in this awesome quiet
its interlude of beauteous calm
her heart’s voice lifted to heaven
as unto Him fully drawn

there on strong foundation
was her strength ever renewed
in the folds and in the flexings
of her sinew and her mood

My server was down several hours last night, hopefully I'll get more time before school to read and comment, but if not I'll be here this evening.

this is a fine place to be.....Virigina, a fine place to be.
