Standing motionless in the tall grasses of summer, 
you stared into my soul with the eyes of Heaven – 
your gaze drew my attention away 
from the chaos of the day, 
and in that moment 
all the ugliness, 
deceit 
and 
hatred 
of this world 
melted away. 
I felt nothing, 
and I knew nothing 
beyond the joyous 
freedom 
and 
playfulness 
of summer 
and I asked myself again – 
How can anyone ever experience 
a moment like this 
and 
not believe in the 
overflowing 
Grace 
of 
God?
