The Green Space


Gentle upon the eyes,
Gentle upon the heart,
Stillness descendeth like morning dew.

Weariness is lifted away,
Greed is silenced,
Suspicion is undone,
And the wandering mind is made whole.

Green and blue are set before us,
Soft in their holy contrast,
A balm for the soul
In days grown narrow and heavy.

The heart is softened,
The spirit made strong,
Desiring to walk and to try all things
Without fear.

Duty is fulfilled unto the One Most High,
And the heart poureth forth its deepest asking.

Cleanse us,
Remove all stain and burden,
Wash away the dust of the world.

Grant us quiet,
Grant us clarity,
Grant us peace
That abideth.
