My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verse for the King; my pen, the pen of a ready writer, Psalm 45:1.

The Great Creator

God carved the Earth with Great precision.
Like a doting mother over an only child;
His Holy Spirit hovered o'er the earth.
He gave to it its physical birth.

Earth's darkened mass so void and lonely,
He suspended deep in space;
Then he covered it with His canopy of grace.

Like a giant top, He spun the Earth
It spins in swift rotation.

He made the mold to fit the stars
And he designed the planets.
Then hung them perfectly in place.

He breathed into the soul of man
And gave to him his master plan
To live, to love, to procreate, to occupy the land.

Aquatic Lullaby

You fell asleep, amidst the sound of lapping waves
As they washed ashore again and again.
They seem to speak to you and say
In their own familiar gentle way.
"Now close your eyes in sweet repose;"
"I'll wash away your sorrows."
"I'll sing for you, and you'll be calm"
"There be no need for such alarm."
"So rest, and sleep. Don't fret and weep"
"Your soul for you I'll surely keep."
"Listen to my aquatic lullaby."

Amidst a nearby tree you'll see
A flock of happy birds so free.
They joined with me to make this song.
And shared the chorus of the dawn
My aquatic lullaby

Words

Huge waves of joy swept over my soul
As your gentle words encased in tones
Of tenderness reached my waiting ears.
They touched me like the summer's breeze
Caressing my waiting heart.
They settled peacefully in my mind
Quietly saturating it, with their sweet
Aroma, like the fragrance of a thousand
Petals of sweet roses. A delicate picture of perfection

My dancing heart, now beats to the
Rhythm of sheer bliss.
Captured and held a prisoner by your
Words .. so enchanting

I swam around in your sea of love
Totally immersed and captivated,
By those three words... your words...
"I Love You".
