Sacred GroundIt is sacred ground,
this place with it's misty sunlight,
this brief opening in the dark wood
where you can pause
and rest on the pine needles
that cover the forest floor
like a blanket of silencing down.
It is sacred ground,
this place in your heart
where despite all fear,
you open yourself,
and dare to believe
that love can conquer all,
despite the evidence.

Hi Tom,
Always worth taking the risk!
the sacred ground within, how perfect.
I love this place you describe in the dark woods, when a misty ray of light shines through the trees.
Love can conquer all,
despite the evidence.
Wonderful analogy.
I can smell the pine needles and feel the trembling peace!
This is a fantastic picture.. Really nice feeling.
