This poem was inspired by a trip back into the sand hills of Nebraska, with my boys to show them where I grew up. The serenity and goodness I felt in my soul back in the hills was so familiar, and calming, it took me by surprise.
Hills of Sand
hills of sand extend in every direction,
sacred the silence, in this place of confession,
in this vast emptiness, God is the reality,
there is no room for doubt,
a fleeting glimpse of what life is truly about,
finding myself lost in the eyes of my child,
amazed by the depth, and space,
I quietly smile,
knowing hills of sand extend for endless miles,
secure in the knowledge,
hills of sand, still endless,
timeless.
mile after mile.
