As I come once more
\nto this hallowed place
\nI\u2019ve been to so often before,
\nI stop and shut my eyes
\nfor only a moment,
\nsearching for
\nthat sense of peace
\nthat\u2019s eluded me
\nso many times before.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0And as I stop to consider
\n<\/font>what I see in front of me,
\nsuspended in this moment
\nfor just the briefest time,
\nI catch a glimpse of tranquility
\nand what it means to be serene.<\/font><\/p>\n

For within the covered walkways
\nand the shadows that surround,
\nwithin the stained-glass reflections;
\nwithin sweet rays of sunshine,
\nin bursts of fragrant light,
\nsoothing to a restless soul,
\nwhat I thought was lost is found.<\/font><\/p>\n

And for a brief time
\nmy heart soars once again
\nbefore coming to rest
\nwhere I find myself
\nat one with what I see.<\/font><\/p>\n

And for just a moment
\ntime is suspended
\nand I have once more
\nfound the peace
\nthat for so long
\neluded me.<\/font><\/p>\n
