Liquid mud flats - v2

Crossing over the causeway, looking far below,
seeing the tidal motion, the turning,
the sunlit water, the in-between times,
the changes, the moving in and out.
 
Liquid mud flats, growing, glowing in the sun,
just outside the channels, the waters,
the languid, the speeding, boats in the intercoastal
showing the changes for a moment in time.
 
A liquid slurry, drying, between the rushes,
the tidal vegetation, the sea birds in flight,
maybe a boat at rest, at anchor,
chronically the time slowly going by.

Between Anastasia Island and the mainland,

in the changing moon – v3

God’s hand visible

unseen but movement

in the rising and falling

of the waves, the tides,

in waxing and waning

in the changing moon

the order of the universe

shining the sun’s light

in the night sky

the turning repeating

seasons, in time, moving,

the motion regulated

like the tides, the moon,

controlled by the Creator

written in God’s plan

the phases of the moon

in God’s loving hand moving.

Wet Stones

Sheltered by the rock jetty
the waves pounding on the shore
turning the stones,
wave after wave
making the rough way smooth

So our lives
in the trials of this world
sheltering in God’s love
our rough edges made smooth
turning us closer to him

The Smooth Stones

The beach different
not coarse sand
of rocky outcroppings
smooth stones
glistening at the water’s edge

Polished smooth
contours not edges so much
an expanse of curves and rolling
exposed by the receding tide

Remembering those moments
walking down to them calling
feeling the cool waters
caressing my feet

The rounded stones
curved under my arches
firm footing because of their heft
calling me further
to the smaller pebbles
further out
at the edge of the tide
