HERE I PRAY - This is my church This cathedral I hold so dear The icy cold saltwater Erases all my land-based fear My soul is set free I feel a sense of total peace This is my holy place Where I come for my release Only silence The answer to my prayers My Mother Ocean listened She erased all my cares She knows me better than all She blesses my smiling soul Her saltwater baptism Time and again, makes me whole Her expansive altar Praying to her upon the shore There is no need for sermon I couldn't long for more This is where the world slips away No need for salvation The dolphins play in the surf They are her congregation Mother Ocean You whisper to my heart I belong to your waves We are never far apart This is where I belong And though I may always roam I will return to you always For this will always be my home - JB, 26SEP2K24
