gravity and love

i'm here to rest..
respite..
but the beauty
the greatness
of the ocean
overwhelms me
the sun skips across my skin
to the rhythm of the breeze
which cools me as it swings over the beach
a result of the waves
crashing against the rocks
and brushing onto the shore

the moon attracts the earth..
the earth responds
in her waves
so that every coast
on each continent
of this green earth
feels their relationship
whether or not we acknowledged the cause
we experience the effect
like the reality of a Great love
it is powerful
affecting
incomprehensible
a bond that is unseen
yet felt and understood
every day
in the realities of its existence

my patient said, "we can only fathom God's love like the water in a glass when its really like the water of the ocean in its greatness."
