From the Lighthouse

My eyes bulge.
My jaw drops to the floor,
never have I seen this before!
Sea salt sprays 'cross the skies
as the tide begins to slowly rise.
A sense of freedom and grace
emerges from the crystal waves,
I could watch the ocean all day.
Time flies,
the daylight dies.
The day may be done,
But a life of discovery has begun.
I may not be talking to the president
in the White house,
Instead I stare at the ocean,
from the lighthouse.

Thanks for sharing this. May I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Lord's blessings be with you.
