Eastern Point
You have a point That drives it all home: Be patient, be still Like a quiet cove Alive yet peaceful Be kind to yourself Knowing tides ebb often Rising back with certainty Be scared yet nimble Like a startled jackrabbit Bounding to safety Be humble and bow down As God’s dutiful servant And as merely a speck In the vastness of the stars Be brave and tenacious Like a hungry seagull Intent on finding its prize Be playful and agile Like a darting barn swallow Singing/laughing with friends Be and be and be A light that shines Like a glorious sunrise Bursting forth a new day Be silent to let go Of the voices in your head And let sing the inner one Harmonized with this point Called Eastern Point Where we pray and pray Along the sacred shores With kind kindred spirits Saying THANK YOU With your whole heart stb 7/30/20
