Surrounded

I walk along a path of stone

Ground by years of wear

I suddenly sense a Greatness near

Yet I know not why or where

I lift my head and see the vastness

The granite, the stones, the trees

I suddenly sense I am surrounded by Love

I stop and I go to my knees

I am completely encircled by Someone beyond

I am completely enamored and awed

I am so mesmerized that I barely can breathe

I just know I must give Him my all

The mountains cry out and speak His name

The trees list silent in the winds

I shrink to the size of a quark of a seed

I hear His voice call me “friend”

I am surrounded
