Nature’s Work

By: Jackie Taylor

Your intentions are refined like untouched ocean waters in a sacred paradise,

Warming my heart like an open fire on a cold winter night.

Place me in the soft sands that are your tender hands,

Where I find peace and serenity when I can no longer stand.

You are my captain and my compass.

I promise to follow where your heart is.

Travelling through life as a river stream.

Gentle winds on a calm, summer eve.

I give you my heart and soul

In exchange for a love that is purer than gold.

A love that runs deeper than the blood in my veins.

It flows through me like heavy rains,

Pouring into a beautiful forest.

A forest, that continues to flourish.
