How refreshing the feel

To walk

To run

To kneel…

Would you walk with me?

Just to see and feel the silence and peace

As we journey along this path

To eternity?

Walk down the sandy shore

Where seashells are left in rippled sand

And wind and sea merge in their own song

And the caps of white seem to wave to forevermore…

Walk the leaf strewn trail

Beneath the redwoods mighty outstretched limbs

And alongside the blooming poppies and roses

And the resting doe and her ever flicking white tail…

Walk the places un-trod by man’s foot

Where no man has journeyed

And the grass trod upon is as green

As the shining blades at the willow’s reaching root…

Would you run with me?

Just to know the power in the still air,

Racing to a future filled with grace,

To eternity?

Run into the gales forceful winds

Push the cooling rains with your flushing skin

As it fills your soul with refreshing wet,

Arms spread wide as the saplings bend…

Run down the hills into valleys dark and deep

Then up again into the burning heights

Still up around boulders and pines evergreen

To where the snow always lingers; the mountain always keeps…

Run through mounds, big and small

Of golden brown, soft oranges and dry grey

Burst them open and spread them around

Letting them fly again only to drop to the grounds of Fall…

Would you kneel with me?

In reverence for the gift of love,

Given in pain and forgiveness,

For all eternity?

Kneel with me, as we seek the peace.

Kneel with me in moments of memories,

And know the refreshing touch within

That sets the heart and soul at ease.

Kneel anytime, anywhere,

When your walk has stopped,

And your run is stilled,

Kneel in body or spirit in peaceful prayer.

Kneel and thank our Lord and Savior

For the power of His love and grace

Kneel and be humbled by His gifts…

Kneel and be blessed in His glory, forevermore.
