Infinite Universe….
Demands of the day have halted to a hush,
all is quiet now, the hour is late.
Time to think, to clear out the mind,
a chance to make sense of all on the plate.
Take a walk outside, feel the sand at my feet,
glowing moon is overhead hiding in clouds.
Ocean water lapping a slow and steady rhythm,
while the sand glistens draped in veils and shrouds.
Gentle breeze kisses my face with such flair,
subtle scent of salt is noticed with each inhale.
Take a deep breath and welcome mother nature in,
deeply into your soul where life never grows stale.
A peaceful time being one with nature,
darkness surrounds, a slight chill in the air.
The vastness of the ocean keeps calling me closer,
I am drawn, so drawn to understand her flair.
A creation of God built with two loving hands,
always different, yet the same everywhere.
As I recline back resting on the heated sand,
the vastness of the infinite universe appears to share.
Illuminating moon like a lighthouse in the sky,
becomes the guiding light for all life of old.
Lying there in awe of the beauty knowing,
with each twinkling new star a story is told.
What exactly do we have, what is there left,
when all being done is destroy and plunder.
It has been said we learn from past mistakes,
however, without God what have we, I wonder.
