As It Could Be To battle feelings of discontent to see fallacy where reality is meant, to wonder if there is indeed a place to feel again a saving grace… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Come, sweet Soul, to walk the land where still the grass is virgin and no glass, no steel, no one but me and God is all that your eye can see. Come, sweet Soul, to my haven home where Indian and bison once ago roamed where lark and hawk share the sky, come and walk, with God and I. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To shed despair, and deep depression to reach back to a good life's lesson; to touch an earth that's not been razed, to see again through smoggy haze… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Come, sweet Soul, to walk the land where still the grass is virgin and no glass, no steel, no one but me and God is all that your eye can see. Come, sweet Soul, to my haven home where Indian and bison once ago roamed where lark and hawk share the sky, come and walk, with God and I. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before I would leave, I would fall upon God's land he gave to us all, to preserve and care for was his desire, but not subject it to human's hateful empires. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Come, sweet Soul, to walk the land where still the grass is virgin and no glass, no steel, no one but me and God is all that your eye can see. Come, sweet Soul, to my haven home where Indian and bison once ago roamed where lark and hawk share the sky, come and walk, with God and I. For though we pray our good intend a glimpse of salvation would our souls to mend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ©KRJ 5 February, 2000 Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

A land as you set out above Is in my heart A land as you set out above Is in my soul We can pray to have such land again I will join into your prayer So beautiful your poem A land like this I like to roam Sunshine may you shine on every bodies soul The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Sunshine- Surely your ~spirit walking~ brings peace and content to your soul. I know it did to mine. The spirits who watch over our Mother Earth are smiling. BEAUTIFUL - JUST BEAUTIFUL 'Come, sweet Soul, to my haven home where Indian and bison once ago roamed where lark and hawk share the sky, come and walk, with God and I.' ~Peace and love~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
