I stand in the forest
Surrounded by trees
And I glimpse the feeling
Of air gliding through the branches
I stand on the cliff
Surrounded by oblivion
And I glimpse the feeling
Of birds flying over the expanse
I stand on the beach
Surrounded by water
And I glimpse the feeling
Of waves rising and crashing
I stand in the field
Surrounded by flowers
And I glimpse the feeling
Of being utterly beautiful
I stand after the storm
Surrounded by rainbows
And I glimpse the feeling
Of the Creator’s love
I stand…Surrounded
