The bond between sky and sea


celestes change by clever design

in a painting of skittish guise

above and below the skyline

the sea darkens as morning dies

at high tide the sea turns pearly

under sky that changes early


in a painting of skittish guise

the ambit of beauty twinkles

can a margin like this have eyes?

looking at fish shoals with sprinkles

that shine as opals at low tide

the settling of sea’s swansong ride


above and below the skyline

there are no hands pushing sea down

or pulling sky away from brine

a balance is set by His crown

the planner brings realms face to face

for His kingdom fills any space


the sea darkens as morning dies

and its border with sky stays still

mirrors do their blinding surprise

on scapes and senses by His will

I sink into a restful state

and I feel breath through Heaven’s gate


at high tide the sea turns pearly

with whirlpools like cells on glass slides

all the palette sky is glory

I am lost in spells at divides

they dance along the line you see

where sky is bonded to the sea


under sky that changes early

a cobalt blaze bathes on the sea

the border between stays steady

as does the one who comforts me

there is art in each daily plane

just as gibbous moons start to wane
