Kaleidoscopes of Joy

Gazebo surrounded,
  inside a garden of flowers.
Cherry dogwood,
  colors burn brighter by the hours.

Clear mountain stream,
  running down within the rocks.
Soul longs for peace,
  from evil’s endless flock.

Lilies border,
  the shores.
Peace awaits,
  this painting outdoors.

Brick path,
  an open gate.
Beyond I believe,
  hope awaits.

No tears,
  kaleidoscopes of joy.
Forgiveness is ours,
  darkness cannot destroy.

God’s dazzling portrait,
  pardoning our sins.
Garden of rest,
  inside me, within.
