I've got longing that begs to be wrestled

and a sorrow that longs to be free

Letting go to be lovingly nestled

under the witness of evergreen trees

To dance fluidly like the moonlight at midnight

on the surface of a cool body of water

To roll in like the thunder, undeterred in the sky

tripping over lost thoughts I have, with wild wonder

Goodbyes clap louder, it seems, in the silence

you can’t help but hear the deafening sound

Filling completely, all of the senses

like eruptions rising from under the ground

Watching as the ripples dance on the water

leaving behind, distorted fingerprints of God

Growing larger as they reach for the shoreline

stirring feelings I'd once set aside

But sometimes peace finds you in the right moment

like the waves that crash over the sand

Reminding us that this journey is cogent

even those that we can't understand
