I was born on an islandDuring my childhood,
I lived by the ocean
With the beach always in sight
Daydreaming from my desk
Or from the treetops at dawn
To see the sunrise over it
Pausing at dusk to watch it dance
With the orange sun again
Whether waking or sleepingAlways hearing that heartbeat
Waves continually crashing
The heartbeat of the earth
And that breath, the breath of God
Breathing in, breathing out
She teaches me of wholenessOf gentleness hidden within strength, of passion
Of depth hidden below the surface
Of being powerful, yet movable
Of being playful and open
Always moving and adapting
Supporting life, creating life,
The roots of my childhood
Lie deep in the sea
And my soul is cradled in her arms
Lifted by the sight and smell of her
I am so grateful for the ocean!
What a pleasure it is
to know she lives on!
Today, I give thanks for the SEA!
