Re-United at the Sea...

This has also been published in Women's Web.



Days are long, bright and sunny -

Silver of water, blue of shades,

Vastness of the world at large -

The commerce, the many trades…

The wonder of the worldly sights,

Ripples, surfs, cacophonous day -

Make not a mark upon me,

Not a scratch that I may say.

Dry of sands, moist of farms,

Lay spread, long and wide.

A thin, thin path stretched out -

I could walk it down on either side.

On one side is a life that was,

It has but some lights and shadows.

The other side, one that could be -

Green and luring, sun-kissed meadows…

I have a choice, a choice that can

Decide for me, which road to take -

Storms, waves, breezes and shelters,

A journey or a fateful wreck…

And the moon-rays bloom, rise and shine,

Blessed and solitary, many a night -

Looking back - the long-lost moments,

The wrong what was, become a right.

Trough floats, with all its lows,

Come the crest, come the high,

One horizon to another,

Waves ripple, life goes by…

Throw you may - away, afar,

The Sea but comes, the Sea gives back

And when you give all of you to it,

It gives you that, for what you lack.

A longing for a place, I craved -

It was lonely, homeward bound -

Melody sank the tides, the waves,

Love afloat - lost and found.

And then I see, I see us come,

For all that matter, for all that are -

Our souls - blessed and bathed in glory,

Arise, embrace, joined in prayer.
