The sky expands and light follows through down to the tumbling ocean blue. A cross at the point guides fishermen there and its bark in the sand reveals God's grace like a chair.
So have a seat and smile awhile don't be afraid, don't cry child. God is here though the sand stings your sight and the clouds close black like the night.
So close your eyes and put yourself to bed don't be restless and rest your head. The sky will expand and his light will follow through down to the tumbling ocean blue.
October 2008....I imagine reading this as a lullaby some day.
