Quiet Retreat

Morning’s quiet retreat

Offering sunrise view

Taking splendor’s front seat

Sky sketched with clearest blue

 

Sanctuary of peace

Spirit’s closeness abounds

Renewal of life’s lease

Stillness felt all around

 

Harmony’s joyful tune

Brightening this new day

Filling every full moon

Mountain’s peak never gray

 

River’s gathering dreams

Shaped within ancient hands

Journey’s endless bloodstream

Tranquility’s heartland

 

Tomorrow always waits

Offering one more chance

Tasting now, nature’s fate

Spirit’s refreshing dance

Dreams are renewable.  No matter our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.

Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is determined by the quality of our being.

Dale E. Turner (1917-2006) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  Many of his works shared an unfailing optimism with his readers.
