Then The sea My friend You were coerced to anger Cursed, you blend fortune and giving Blessed, you obey natural - order’s danger Awaken by earth’s pangs and warnings A sure profit you are, My friend The sea Yet, concern is within me. Deafened ears of man Goats and sheep Lost or broken in the sand Resting beneath a palm, fast asleep No desire to explore or understand, Heaven’s plan Except your fishes below, where His nature did bestow Before corruption spread, from man to natural order Creation’s perfection being complete, in one law Water and firmament He pressed into living Separating you from His land The blessing you my friend, Most certainly understand In that moment of separation, in that fallen nature We became foe and friend, as you are in man created Man blended of earth and sea with His hand Be patient my friend, the sea Someday we will be re-established When the prayers of Saints are burned on His alter When New Jerusalem and the One called Peace, returns You my friend, will be a’ new He will awaken His sheep separate His goats And establish His natural order again Then My friend Then |
