calm, blue, infinite, spreading in every direction,
soothing, healing, loving, sheer perfection,
thats what you are my Lord,
thats my perception of you,
I feel you in every breath I take,
I experience you in every daily miracle you make,
you are there with me from morning to night,
you are there to assuage my every hurt, my every slight,
I have to drown my ego and bathe in your healing light,
that is my perception of you dearest God,
a deep abiding faith, that is never shaken,
from the time I sleep to the time I waken,
help me to be good and kind and true,
to every human I meet, and the ones who matter, the few,
help me steer towards the right, and away from the wrong,
help me have patience, when things don t move along,
help me do my duty, keep my peace and submerge my pride,
be my guiding light, my saviour, and my guide,
and if I achieve even a bit, of what I aspire,
it will be, because you wish it and what I require,
let me learn from those who are old and so wise,
and when I hurt deeply God grant me reprise,
for you are so warm, and healing and filled with love,
what I cant get from your world below, I get from you above,
no word, no song, no music, is as sweet
as the feeling when I surrender myself at your feet,
because if one thing is sure,
its that you are there for me,
vast, unending, soothing and healing.....
...like the deep deep blue sea.
