Cast a glow on the water.
Reach for the heavens
Under a wavy canopy.
The ebb and flow reflects
Rhythms in my life.
Our mothers before us did conceive
This forlorn generation.
Yet asked that in return
For eternal hope
Truth we could perceive.
Thought waves of prayer
Form radiant parenthesis –
Still in this world to dwell.
Beyond the silent crucible
This pulsating heart
Echoes songs of celebration
Under moonlit canopies.
This temporary, parallel existence
Underscores anticipation –
Bedrock of our home.
Set aside concordant yearning
Until this earthly tomb
Holds the crown of Your creation.
Unwavering trust defines
Us enveloped in holiness –
A cascade of generations
One|beside|the|other
Each one a witness
To Divine Providence.
YOU are ONE, there is no other.
