Casting all of my....... Cares Failures Pain Sins Weights Hopelessness All of my....... Dreams Hopes Loves Pride Well made plans Successes All of my....... Seconds Days Years Yesterdays Todays Tomorrows I cast them all into the sea The sea that forgets all I CHOOSE to forget The bad, the good, the ugly! Everything is what I cast So I might be free to live one day at a time! So refreshing to feel the cooling waters At last flowing over my soul I waited so long.... So dry and so empty I felt Now I see the torrents coming The waves of forgiveness flowing Only their crushing power can drive away the past! I embrace the SEA..... So powerful to engulf me With all that I do All that I have done!!!! Waves rushing in to help cleanse To drown what I would want to keep Nothing remains but the great expanse of it So clean and crystal clear Miraculous and graciously given by the Creator! I will engulf myself in this SEA!!!!!!!! [This message has been edited by Illusion (edited 04-25-2000).] |

The sea of love. Beautiful poem and the analogy is perfect. Total surrender. There is no other way! 02 |

Illusion, This is a very lovely poem, and picture you present us with here. Freed from the past gories & glories to fully experience the Present blessings and challenges of life! I do cherish many memories of the past- but I can not allow them to be my life present- or I cease to really live--Thanks for the wonderful perspective. David (Does you poem have any connection with what Paul said in Phillipians 3:13-14?) |
