OCEAN

Light and bubbly

fingertips of God

Roll to me, draw me

lull in my needs

from deep.



He feathers along

the fringes of me.

his - "I am" and 'I' ....only me.

He recedes.



Vast, deep, his arms - (he)

stretch and grow.

I shrink back in body

I swell toward him

in soul.



Apprehensive, I breathe

Humbled by such thrum.

Exhaling my need, desire to delve

freedom of waves lap my ankles.



Enticing by volume

Sounds larger than space

I'm spoken to and around

teetering foamy cold lace.



It is I who hesitates

I who recedes.

Until I give to him

my want and my need.



I answer his beckon

his thunderous call.

allow him to cover me

without fear from his swell.



I hear echoes, feel grains

no needs with faith

My memory is clear

what he gave and

what he takes.



I'm lured and enticed

In the wonder....the spell

I am awed by expanse

the sky and the sail.



Coming and flowing, ebbing

endless toil.

Twirling earth and rock

living creatures

solid shell.



I wait for the rise

level with moonlight

after sun has set

beyond the twilight.



It is dark, so black

Ominous...constant backlash

no rest for this weary

ocean of vast.



Roll and draw

through hours of night

grasp my heart

to the gravity of pull

with delight.



Take me out

into the sea

drown my troubles

my faults,

drown me.



For daybreak will come

glowing the sky

gathering the whisked

churning of high.



Back to the land

where he gently places me

Back to the hard

stark reality.



I will lay wet

shaking naked on sand.

I will sob senseless

grasping for his

liquid hand.



Watching him roll

sleeking away.

Into the horizon his tendrils floating

past bay.



I weep exhausted

gaze at the sky.

I wish I was with my father

No strength for pride.



The horizon is empty

he's cast me away

not willing to take me

simply tease my toes

with foam lace.



(unfinished)
