Notes About The Poem

 

IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME

 

As the sun continues to rise,

As the moon continues to wane and wax,

Here I am, continuing to wave on

The wrinkling sea of life, streaming to its shores,

To froth and seep deep into the waiting sands of time;

Here to canvas clanging conch-like echoing footprints:-

 

As the sun continues to set and rise

And as the waters of the sea of life continue

To evaporate to freshly, freely rise again,

I likewise, continue to fall asleep and rise again

In the circadian rhythms of time’s clocking

Of the ebb and flow of my mission-purpose: poetic

Cistern-sharing of divine wisdom, guidance, and love:-

 

Once experienced deserts of oasis have had their day,

And are now overcome valleys of the shadows of death;

I now know that where love is, there’s peace and no fear of fear:-

And though I’ve had storms in life’s sea, I’ve sailed them Paulian,

And I’m now on the shores of time, breathing God’s breath of wisdom:-

As the sun continues to rise and set, and moon likewise, wane and wax,

I'll continue to pour out clanging echoes to my fellow poets like all of you:-

IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME

As the sun continues to rise,
As the moon continues to wane and wax,
Here I am, continuing to wave on
The wrinkling sea of life, streaming to its shores,
To froth and seep deep into the waiting sands of time;
Here to canvas clanging conch-like echoing footprints:-

As the sun continues to set and rise
And as the waters of the sea of life continue
To evaporate to freshly, freely rise again,
I likewise, continue to fall asleep and rise again
In the circadian rhythms of time’s clocking
Of the ebb and flow of my mission-purpose: poetic
Cistern-sharing of divine wisdom, guidance, and love:-

Once experienced deserts of oasis have had their day,
And are now overcome valleys of the shadows of death;
I now know that where love is there’s peace and no fear of fear:-
And though I’ve had storms in life’s sea, I’ve sailed them, Paul-like
And I’m now on the shores of time, breathing God’s breath of wisdom:-
As the sun continues to rise and set, and the moon likewise wane and wax,
I shall continue to pour out clanging echoes to my fellow poets like all of you:-
