What We Want To Create
If I could calm the ocean,
Uncurl the waves for now
Bring peace with understanding
That not all crashes to shore
Not all things are salt in wounds
A soft empty beach at night
Can greet shiny ripples in moonlight
Glimmers of hope can hang on
Like barnacles to the jagged rocks
Not letting go in rough weather
Hope rests in the quiet night
Where loneliness can also visit
Instead take your hand in mine
Tides do not deliver what we expect
It is about what we want to create
Like the painter on the shoreline
Brush in hand, painting a memory
As the sun rises upon our faces
In a new day that has only just begun
