Waves

I watch waves flow from here to distant shore And wonder if they journey by design. What freedom are they given to explore As they break loose from sands where I'm confined? When winds whip seas and walls of water climb To reach the heights where gulls and egrets soar, Are Earth and Heaven's borders redefined? I watch the waves flow from here to distant shore. I listen to the ocean's thunderous roar And hear its rumblings echo through my mind. As dreams escape from out of my guarded core, I wonder if they journey by design. My life stands eager to be redefined As searching questions from my spirit pour. As thoughts once bound are starting to unwind What freedom are they given to explore? As waters churn above the ocean's floor And nothing stays where it was first assigned, My longings stray from where they once were moored As they break loose from sands where I'm confined.
