My part of the world is waking – v2

My part of the world is waking,
from sleep, from frozen slumber,
light is breaking in the east,
where you, my love, are living…
 
The same sun warms us,
rising in the heavens, higher,
how I long to be with you,
to touch you, to feel
your warm embrace…
 
For now, there is this consolation,
my part of the world is waking,
I sing of our love together, stronger,
Even while we are yet miles apart…

our breath-prayer – v2

Our prayer between us,
in our promise together,
knowing in our spirits,
feeling God’s hand, His love,
poured out upon us…
 
In the crucible of this age,
uncertainty of these moments,
we share an eternal love,
a breath-prayer between us,
“I will love you until the day I die”.
 
So much power in these words,
this promise spoken between us,
but how much more joy there will be,
when we are united, my love, for eternity,
and we dance in the streets of heaven...
 
We long for the day, that moment,
when we live together, in love,
in the crucible of these days,
striving in our hearts,
with God by our side…

The Star has arrived – v2

The actors are all ready, poised,
the supporting cast, the understudies,
pacing, standing in the flies,
sneaking a peek at the audience,
ready for her entrance, to take the stage…
 
The curtain has been pulled back, ready,
the Star has arrived, vibrant, shining,
fulfilling the ancient promise,
commanding the daytime,
until night takes the stage…

Brushstrokes thrusting upward – v2

Gathering power
brilliance of the morning,
Brushstrokes thrusting upward,
Into the morning, the light…
 
Capturing power
churning of the waters,
Bursting upon the shoreline,
Igniting words of spray…

From earth to starlight

A moment of epiphany,
of a full moon morning,
waves erupting, crashing,
upon the shore, the rocks
the spray capturing God,
first fruits, the sunrise, its rays,
Streaming upward…
 
The vertical plane erupting,
from earth to starlight,
the morning dawning,
in power and infinite light,
waters churning, crashing,
aerosol radiance, emerging,
Streaming to heaven…

The radiant sunrise

Power in the spray,
the radiant sunrise,
waves bursting forth,
Praise for the Creator,
the awakening of God,
Sharing life, a birthing,
a shimmering miracle,
Life in the waves,
in the spray above…

another pelican morning – v3

an unseen hand,
an invisible thread,
the dance of the pelicans
above the wave tops…
 
seeing a line of them approaching
just above the wave tops
picking up my cell phone
setting the stage, waiting
for them to come into view.,,
 
diving in unison,
as if tethered together,
rising and falling on the winds
above the wave tops…
 
zooming in quickly, panning,
moving, catching their motion
another pelican morning. Bursting,
just above the wave tops
here beyond our beach…
 
an invisible line, transparent,
a cord, an unseen thread,
kissing the waters, fishing,
just above the wave tops…

Returning to the sea, to the water – v3

Too long away from my spirit,
returning to the sea, the water,
feeling the sunlight upon my body,
the roar of the waves, crashing,
as the high tide fell away…
 
They came out to greet me,
as they have before, again,
a repeating pattern, welcoming me,
lines of pelicans above the houses,
above the dunes, ribbons across the sky...
 
Some strands were four of them,
a dashed line over the buildings,
other threads saw thirty coursing,
cutting through the moment,
greeting me once again…
 
Another pelican morning,
on our beach touching memory,
the dance of the pelicans above me,
refreshing me in this moment,
washing me in infinite grace…
