I can decide if I will let go
and enjoy the moment
with the crepe myrtle across the way
and swing in the breeze with the sunflowers
or
if I will pull the shade of fear over my eyes
and attach to my feet the weight of worry.
Celestial ocean

Arms outstretched

We sail beneath the light



Calamitous wave

Rising in the dark

To subjugate the night



Watch the stars fall

A drop of wishful

Our faithful will provide



Warm premonitions

In pale embracement

As fostered fates collide
Feel its fury
hear it roar
Avenging Angel
vengeance born

Apostatic
idols vain
Bear the sentence
its will proclaims

Chants of guilt
awaken sinners
From their dark
infected dreams

O’er the mountains
to the ocean
Heaven’s rage
—its verdict screams
