Rolling tide breaks free
of ocean’s gravity
rising high to regain pride and
defy placement amongst the calm
Fullest awe then folds and crashes
birthing fields of foamy laughter
knowing molds no longer guide
complacent paths
All is still, but only resting
til next moment comes arresting
springing up above horizon
new day’s shore
Spirit tide you are my core.
Billowed cloud no longer gray
drops of darkness cast away
kissed by earth in heaven’s way
to subdue the flustered puff
Nearly empty of its weights
angels blow to dissipate
chains lingering in the sails
so it may float
Drifting deeply into currents
taking risks without assurance
owning nothing but the riches
of its Maker
Heart cloud you are my center.
Cloaked in afterthoughts of day
granting moon the gift of sway
leaving wolves to howl their cries
in murky skies
Sun takes rise against its rival
summons Light for all survival
granting mercy’s liberation
to the flawed
Upon grace its rays are burning
tempered fury for the undeserving
flames command the storms of life
revere its source
Soul sun you are my force.
