Sea Prayer

The sounds…
The sound of the sea
Remind us
Of that soft, soft journey
That takes us there
And back again…
There… and back again

And that song in memory
The song of the sea
Reminds one
Of the music…
Hissing and whispering
That music of slumber
Rumbling, slumbering
That weaves it’s way
Into the soul
Tickling and trickling
There… and back again

Those sea sounds flow
Through the veins
They cascade through the blood
Ebbing and flowing
Swirling and whirling
Through time and rhyme
Wind and water
Carried on shifting sands
Languorous lagoons

Standing by that swish
Rushing and gushing
Sucked back
By the grumbling gravel
Hissing and gurgling
Departing, returning
Happy and sad
Dancing and swirling
We are spirits carried
On the waves of eternity
Music without end
Blessed and boundless
