The Soft Tread of Footsteps
“And I rose
In rainy autumn
And walked abroad in a shower of all my days…”
― Dylan Thomas, Collected Poems
Tread lightly upon worn timbered stairs
Leading to autumn’s cool embrace
With lumbering care, slip
Into welcoming arms
Of swaying russet leaves
Whispering in an elusive breeze
Feel divine grace of this sacred place
Be alive with startling beauty
Here in nature, relief
Escaping plaguing thoughts
Each step of faith we take
Brings us closer to God’s loving peace

The beauties of nature, we should, immerse our selves in, as they can, make us forget our troubles, temporarily.
