A river of silence

a river of silence
flows in me
to an ocean where waves never roar
a current of love
a riptide - no less
a sense of above
so vast and serene
a feeling so deep
it’s almost obscene
I feel the sea surge in me

as I sit in this space
an ear to ear grin
spreads
up from the south
across my chin
to my mouth and invades my whole face
with an …………
amazing grace

as I go within
I’m a cloud carried song
whose message ignites
a flame for the masses
to see
all the fire and the smoke
has re-kindled the hope
we don’t die

we live endless-ly

dawn defies darkness ending night
laughter meets fear
ocean and shoreline collide
a man and woman play
their flame from a small spark ignites

love is set free
ideas ride shoreward
on waves of love
where thought marries soul
then laws will fade
then all will know
a more simple way to be
