Where My Soul Breathes Easy

Where the path grows green

with grass blowing in the breeze

 and glowing canopies of leaves

Where color drips from flower-faces

purple, white, orange, and blue

yellow, red--in every hue

Where birds serenade without a care

Where earth and herb scent the air

Where river's rushing hushes me

Where rain and sun-rays both fall free

That is where my soul breathes easy,

my heart unfurls

and I feel God's smile.
