Sleepy Hollow

And in this tranquil rendezvous where peace and beauty blend,
there is a sweet communion In the meeting of a friend;
for in this shining solitude,
false values slip away,
and only truth and beauty
seem planted there to stay.
The weary one finds comfort,
the struggling soul finds peace,
the hungry one finds banquet,
the bitter one release.
I think this sanctuary must be the kind of place,
where very unsuspectingly we meet God face to face.
