Great Wavelengths

A massive wave of love came crashing.
It washed away a load of sand,
Took me clean to my foundation,
Made me bright and new again,
And now the stars shine—
Dancing in the dented spaces
Like diamonds in a pool of sea
That glisten in the crevices
Of all the places that were me.

But I am something else again,
Recreated, energized
By the song the water sings me,
By the glory of the tides,
And yet, I’m soothed from former worry,
Shown my strength, and pacified
By the constant push and pull

Of the gracious wave at ocean’s side.
