Poem Title:
Poem
I looked up and saw And what I saw Took my breath away I saw the sky in turquoise splashes And a rainbow of pure colour No eye could fathom I saw a dream, I saw a vision I saw what inspired every poet, Every artist, every person, It inspired me, and it made me Think I looked up and breathed And I breathed in deep and took in All the glory of His handiwork I saw a sunset, I saw colours That didn’t exist in the human mind But only in the mind of the One who made it. I saw neither RED, nor YELLOW, even BLUE I saw hues; I saw splashes, merges of shades That had neither name nor infinite longevity Due to an oblique, orange setting sun I gazed down and danced, And danced on roaring white foam On darkened sand and smooth stone The waves crashed in, and sizzled back out My feet and toes refreshed, Gazing around, into a horizon turned bright crimson I breathed in the salt, the foam and lifted My chin, standing on tiptoe, lungs invigorated The sun halfway into the sea, appearing to submerge How small do I feel under the dancing coloured sky, Of wispy clouds and up against the giant ocean…? How do I fit in under the gaze of the Sun, its warmth and Beauty indefinable…? A whisper came across my face, A wind from the West, (or is it East?) teasing my hair away Into marine air, pulling tendrils of curls onto my lips Not concerned, or troubled, neither worried or caring I nodded my head in agreement to the Words of Him Him above all. The whisper, exhaled. I inhaled. It came again, with no comparison; “I’ll never leave you.” I looked up and saw And what I saw Took my breath away
