Prayer to Ocean that you are
You are the Ocean
I stand before you
afraid to go in
afraid of the darkness that you are
full moon
bones and sinews birds
flying back
from faraway stars
I stand before you
my robe wet
with the spray of endless stars
I stand before you
afraid to come out
You are the ocean
roar in the night
I'm lost in your infinity
forever lost
in the immensity of love
Through closed eyes
you whisper a name
I do not know
wrapped in darkness
of a warming night
Honey in my tongue
A smell of honeysuckle
Above, below, the whisper of the wind
brings me your scent
O Lord my God
O lover mine
The mountains smile
my dreams wrapped in your music
in distance gentle rains
chrysanthemums and lilies
and how you fill me
O lover mine
All that I am is yours
the tiniest smile
the fiercest frown
the ocean that you are
to float away
into your endless heart
O lover mine
you fill my dreams with cymbals
trumpets, myrrh and frankincense
I feel your breath upon my brow
and I am yours as you are mine
Atoms and bluebells
reddest blood coursing
hands tingling
with the presence of holiness
Quiet, you say, my love
Be still and know.
