While I watched the sea

today

his misty surface

and sereen shadows

hiding

the unknown depths

I wondered...

did God

create the sea

out of His own tears???

If I were to have
a crystal ball
I would see if
God's tears fall
onto the earth
the salt so brine
for you and me
and humankind

What a wonderful little poem, with such a beautiful question. I can imagine it, God's tears flowing to earth to create the sea.

I always thought of the sea as having been created by angel's tears.  I enjoyed this much.  Thank you!

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I believe with all my heart knowing all He suffered and the pain He felt, that the sea is truly made of His tears because they give us all life and hope and cleanse us of our guilts in which He does for us all, showing us salvation and love! (sigh) This is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I think this is one of your best yet, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Neeraja, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Neerja, a wonderful point to ponder...after all, it is salt water.

Since it was created long before humans, He could have cried tears of joy at the beauty of the universe to come, yet it is so likely that the tears of sorrow were mingled through for He knew all we would do.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

That made me think about it Vas... the salty water... there must be some connection don't you think?

Thank you all for your sweet words about this poem... there are so many mysteries left... so much to wonder about...
