Oh My Soul

Oh My Soul, glorifies the Lord.

Were you there when I walked alone?

When the tides rose to touch the sands 

And lingered at my feet

The sea was calm

The day was not yet born.

Were you there when I saw a vision?

In the clouds

When they did part

And the brightest of light brought forth

sheer delight

That day, I was anointed by your sight.

Were you there when in the darkest of days

My soul cried out to you

To silence the fears

that disturbed my peace 

That day, I sought love and redemption.

Oh my soul

When I awake

I seek your face 

as a child 

Seeks her Father.

My soul that awaits 

From the highest of the highest

Abound thy angels 

For among them, my soul like a morning star

Raises to heaven 

in a brilliant light

I entered the throes of heaven

and found divinity.

Have a Blessed Holy Week!

The Blues

Like the translucent blue sea

The coconut trees reflect

The blues.

The blues are meant to awe

and the glaze-eyed beauty

eyes them with a shimmer.

I wondered how they needed the sun

to show me the beauty of the seas that morning,

As the tides washed up to the sun-warmed sands,

The coconut trees provided shade

So I could stand beneath the fronds 

and listen to

The rhythm of the seas.

Splash! The tides were low

The seabeds glistened a warm yellow

shadowed

By the sands beneath, a pebble or two,

and a straying crab eager to swim ashore

scrambles to build its crib.

The blues of the seas captivated my mind

not only in colour but by its vastness

to outshine the world

with its imaginative articulation.

artistry in sheer reflection of the blue skies and seas
