Stone, kissed by salt, sighs on the isle,
A Gothic spine, against the tide's guile —
eight centuries, etched in weathered stone,
A whispered prayer, a lonely throne.
Granite fingers, reaching for the sky,
Embrace the sun, as shadows fly.
As a timeless grace, the abbey stands as
A sanctuary in this watery space.
The sea, a restless, murmuring friend,
Whispers tales, to the tide's relentless end.
Each ebb and flow, a rhythmic beat,
A soul's lament, on an island's feet.
Columns rise, like ancient trees,
Reaching heaven in the salt-laced breeze.
Tranquil silence fills the air,
Faith's fragile bloom is beyond compare.
Granite heart, a watchful eye,
On shifting sand and moonlit sky.
Time, a tide, relentlessly sweeps,
The abbey stands; its purpose remains.
A whispered hymn, on wind-blown waves,
Hope, a beacon, on these lonely caves.
The abbey's soul, a steadfast light,
A testament, to human might.
When I see Old Glory wave
I picture Lady Liberty beckoning
to boatloads of refugees ~
not cattle rustlers hanging in effigy
When I hear Taps playing
I think of young soldiers
who gave their lives for freedom ~
even as gunfire crackles in urban slums
When I see fireworks on the Fourth
I am grateful for our independence
and for our growth as a nation ~
as for iniquities we do penance
When I hear the National Anthem playing
I stop what I'm doing and saying
Remove my hat from my head, place hand over heart
~ Pray that my country not cleave apart
I Walked The Wet Sands, Just Beyond Lapping Waves
I walked the wet sands, just beyond lapping waves
with every footstep, sincere prayer said that saves
morning sun was then rising, heart was beating strong
cool wind was blowing, hopeful and true dreams along
melancholy were the sounds as waves wet soft sands,
Heaven was beaming, its glory across the lands.
I walked the long day, future waving ahead
leaving behind sorrows, grabbing sweet live instead
orange sun was setting, each step a blessed gift
Nature began singing, soft prayers that so uplift,
never more the doubting or the deep aching pains
praising God by shouting, only true faith remains!
I walked the wet sands, just beyond lapping waves
with every footstep, sincere prayer said that saves.

As the waves calm, water slowly recedes
The storm travels on, after causing havoc
Prayers 'answered' now remain, for lives saved
As the sun tries to shine again, upon the land
Where people ran from nature or chose to stay
As the waves calm, some tears do still fall
Instead of rain, into puddles on the street
Around broken pieces of things that remain
Everyone stops to think about, what was lost
--- Or what was not ---
