Driftwood and tree trunks
Scattered about
Delivered to shore
Like a gift, an offering
For us to explore
Makes me wonder
Where do they come from
And how do they get to the sea
Waves crash upon the beach
With steady rhythm
Heartbeat of the sea
Speaks to me of life beyond
Another world unknown to me
Explorers have tried
To penetrate its soul
Solve the mysteries
Of stories untold
Do you think there are angels in the sea
Watching over God’s creatures
Guiding the way
Loving and caring for those that stray
I’d like to think they are not alone
That some sweet angels
Are there to protect
Keep them from harm
When man disrespects
The wind reminds me
Of Who’s in charge
Even the waves
Respond to the power
Bowing their caps
Curling and leaning
With utmost respect
To Creation’s King
The sun glitters and sparkles
On the sea’s great belly
Casting its light
Like a billion stars
In the sky of another world below
I wonder, do they know
The creatures of the sea
That there is another sky
With another billion stars
That reaches beyond infinity
Reminds me of Heaven
And all the places of mystery
God calls me here
To the edge of another world
To remind me of His power
His Love and majesty
No other place
Has ever shown me
Like the sea
And all its mystery
