About God, the Ocean & the Moon

Each night I look up to the sky

And see the Lord in every star

But for some reason, I know not why

I find him not in the moon afar

I see a face but he looks cold

Up in space the time he bides

Near the ocean rocks so old

Ever changing with the tides

God, for me, does not waver

Like the moon does every night

To me, God is my bless'd savior

An always constant shinning light

But, somehow, it's different now

The closest star seems distant

And though the sun will not allow

My moon turns to a crescent

I move quickly against the waves

Others come but I must go

Past all the people the Lord saves

If I'm one the sun will show

Its futile whispering prayers to the moon

The man speaks not to me

For the night is gone too soon

And then the moon must flee

I realize I am like that sphere

So weary, dark and low

And only when the sun is near

Am I allowed to glow

I revolve around the earth

As the earth goes round the sun

From the moment of my birth

And until my life is done

I'm not afraid of the sea anymore

With the current I am intune

As I wonder, on this distant shore,

About God, the ocean and the moon
