To feel the wind upon our faces as, motionless, we gaze out to the sea;
To breathe the fresh, clean air apart from war and conflagration;
To sleep and wake to songbirds rather than the distant guns.I want to let you rest a moment quietly in my Presence,
There to feel the safety and the surety of Love.
To keep your ears from hate and vengeful lies
And let the Light, instead of darkness, wash o'er your eyes.
Would that I could clothe you in my mantle sewn of Peace
And woven with the very strands of Life itself;
To shield you from the strife and turmoil of this hectic life
For just a space of time to let you find your Heart again.
Here, now, I stand serenely in my Garden watching, waiting
For the resolution needed that allows me through the veil to walk
And greet you face to face, and in my Garden talk.
I have so longed to be with you and in my garden talk.
