Greater Power

This came to me today (5th September 2012) whilst sitting on a beach listening to the sea. For a while, the sea was my greater power, but I've since returned to religious faith

I listen to the crash of waves on sand

Mindful now of a greater power

That same Force that brought us together, 

bound us close, and took you Home. 

A white feather next to me as I write this

Reminds me that you're only as far 

As I think you are - sometimes I forget

There's no such thing as separation

When hope binds us still. 

I hope we will meet again

But I clearly have much to learn. 

There is no separation, and I am not alone. 

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

There are many forces in nature that awe us, but perhaps none more powerful than the sea. In that place where land meets water, our sense are filled with wonder and we can't help but recognise the hand of creation.
