haiku triune
passions call the night waves of longing and desire vista near and far. passions call the night yesteryears gone and yearnings vista near and far. passions call the night in all glory PRESENCE known vista near and far.

To yonder distant shoresI set to sailCresting waves and windsI to hailConstant isThe beckoning pleaThe lure, the callOf the implacable sea.

If humankind were to listen deeply to the sea,
to the call of dolphins and whales,
to the ever present wave song
between the moon and the sea,
spirit would prevail
and hearts would join
in peace and understanding.

Wherein lies this call, this commandWhat inspires this questing handThe wavering cloud, the streaming lightBrush strokes to capture known delightThe firmament aboveNature's touch, godly love.
