A Lonely Road

Down a lonely road I walked
to ponder silent dreams.
The brilliant sunlight struck my path
in golden yellow beams.

Beneath a lonely tree I sat
to hear a bluebird's song.
His thrilling, throaty chorus
carried clear and loud and long.

Beside a lonely stream I knelt,
assured its course would bring
The breathless awe I've always felt
to touch a drop of spring.

In a lonely field I stood,
with sweetly scented air.
It seemed each flower of the wood
had dropped its fragrance there.

Up a lonely hill I climbed,
and from my perch of sod,
I tasted nature's beauty
and the majesty of God.

Down a lonely road I walked,
through landscape draped in green,
With newly found perspective:
not lonely-but serene.
