Revelation

When I walk on the sand of the ocean

When I stand by the side of the sea

Like a wave I am here for a moment

Who am I to deny I am free?

In the endless repetitive motion

A recurrent continual roar

Underneath or upon each explosion

To retreat yet again to explore

Is a message for all who will listen

Or a silence to all who ignore

Bit by bit like a telegraph carried

Like the sand in the wind on the shore

Like the stars set as fires in the heavens

Where the wise look for guidance above

To inspire or despise revelation

As a final reminder of love

Until time is withdrawn like a curtain

Where the lion and lamb is concealed

Every nation is silent before him

Every thought and intention revealed
