Encouraging Heavens

Vastness of oceans deep

Swimming with endless wonders

Encouraging what world should keep

Heavens answer with thunder

 

Vastness of universe

Swimming with infinite stars

Encouraging nature’s free verse

Heavens address from afar

 

Vastness of instinct flows

Swimming to every shoreline

Encouraging children, let’s grow

Heavens praise learning’s outline

 

Vastness of human mind

Swimming toward tomorrow

Encouraging love, always kind

Heavens remove all sorrow

 

Vastness of creation

Swimming with unending light

Encouraging every nation

Heavens transform man’s foresight

Rendezvous

From creation’s headwaters

River’s energy never rests

Hearing mountainous echoes

Ready for nature’s big test

 

Faithful as morning’s sunrise

River’s journey covers distance

Navigating every mile

Ready to lead with persistence

 

Nature salutes steady flow

River’s majesty looks ahead

Following distant landmarks

Ready to search for beachhead

 

Goal set by master’s vision

River’s eyes searching oceans blue

Wrapping up eternal trip

Ready for its rendezvous

 

Mission now accomplished

River’s destiny all complete

Blessing past, present, and future

Ready with lasting heartbeat

Past Favorites: Oceans

This  poem was  published in July, 2019, and features an early attempt at writing poetry using mystery-filled imagery.  It was originally written in March of the same year as an  entry for a poetic publication.  While the poem didn’t make the cut, it has been well-received here on WordPress.

A life can sometimes seem deep and dark

Just as the oceans’ waves find their mark

 

From season to season, a person splashes along

Just as the oceans redeploy, intense and strong

 

Hardships and misfortunes grudgingly arrive each week

Just as the oceans’ depths mask secrets, waiting to seek

 

Morning’s sunrise embraces, cheerful and bold

Just as the oceans splash water, much too cold

 

Today brings a bit of uncertainty and sadness

Just as the oceans bring a light of happiness

 

One wonders and dreams of a better life

Just as the oceans dispense little strife

 

A walk along the sandy beach sounds great

Just as the oceans’ tides deliver a final fate

 

The gentle waves engage loneliness for a swim

Just as the oceans’ surf arrives without a whim

 

A final desperate, draining breath takes one under

Just as the oceans stand still and start to wonder
