"Prayer to Ocean that You Are" Silvia Antonia Brandon Pérez ARCWP

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.
