My Heart Hears the Waves

As waves gently glide through my head
The rhythmical sound fills my veins, flowing to my heart
I feel the pulse of eternity rise up through their flings
Sea green mystic depths where my dreams seem to start

Flowing to my heart the waves are the magic potion mixed aloud
A part of my long past of buried sins, love and devotion
Stirring far away feelings, blinding me as I fill my bed
I hear words soothing my cuts, a salve upon my emotion

Buried sins, love and devotion were my fate, lift me up to heavens door
Eagles soaring lazy circles, my thoughts drift upon their wings
To my heart the waves are the magic potion mixed forever more
And I but a fish in the sea with wings to lift me up upon a cloud

This is rather good--you hint at how 'the pulse of eternity' [some might call it God] is all about us, and within us as I tried to show in a recent poem, The Unbound Soul-- and that final line is perfection!
