With wide-opened arms,
I offer myself
again to the sea,
double-red flag at the
abandoned beach
and in me.
I give it all to God
who takes it up
with the wind,
wild waves
rush up from within.

Benevolent powers
remind me
who I am
and what I’m capable of
in this lifetime chance
when He is inside me
like He’s always been,
and all of nature,
my lifelong friends.

The beach itself
is rippled clean,
new slate
on which to imprint
the path
He leads,
another first step
into the trust
of His plan,
the next leg of a journey
to lead me even closer
to where He is at.
