Devotions

I steal away to sun and sand—

A quiet, calming land.

My Father takes me by the hand

And makes my spirit light.

This desert place—so silent, sweet—

Invites me to retreat.

 A land of rest, a space to meet

My Love, my Life, my Light.

When city streets embed their dust

A place awaits! I must

Depart and seek the heart I trust—

Amid that land of light.
