Thought
Foraging food from shore
Filtered betwixt toes the sand
Wind and waves to ponder on
Ancestors saw beyond the sun
Shimmering as breakers break
Sounds of life the gods awake
Softness hush to roaring drum
Curious searching just begun
Quasar pulse light years away
Eclipses ancient galaxy
Far removed in endless sky
Is beating of the heart nearby
Further than eye light fetch
Deeper than skin will catch
Ebb and tide of universe
Where I sit is here - is close
Prayer
O Lord thou art the beat of the heart that quickens when I think of Thee. Regular and reliable as long as you hold it in Thy hands. The whole waking universe is Thy body with Thy subtle will behind. Grant that I may surrender to Thee for Thy grace to freely flow.
