A Sanctuary For The Soul Poem by Daniel Richards

Within the warm soft summer breeze
Sitting under the trees watching the evening moon glow,
We find a sanctuary for the soul,

Night time slowly envelopes me,
Creeping like a ethereal shadow, A dark delicate blanket of black,
Through slight tares the stars look back

The moon sends shards of light
Cutting through the black, lighting the earth with a softly glow
Adding to the sanctuary for the soul

Drawing life with the stars
Imitations and simple designs, graffiti on the boundary of the world
Urging the mysteries to unfurl

Hearing whispers of an owl
Seem to beckon magic, a call to arms for the night time hunt
The beauty adds to the sanctuary of the soul

Almost a simple paradise
And with the rustle of a bush outcome the fireflies, soaring and lighting
A souls simple paradise

From underneath these trees
I find magic, peace of mind and beauty that surrounds every moment in time
A soul’s sanctuary with the night time sky’s

Under the stars
We cannot hide the truth of its immense beauty and temptation to behold
The question asked by the soul
