A TASTE OF ETERNITY

I AM THE SUN,
I SHINE FOR THEE,
LIGHT AND HEAT
HAS BEEN PLACED IN ME,
THE PERFECT GIFT TO HUMANITY.

I AM THE MOON,
A DISTANT GLOW,
GENTLE TO THE EYES 
AS YOU GAZE IN THE NIGHT SKY 
WHERE STARS PITCH, TWINKLE AND SHINE.

I AM THE SEA, 
LIKE THE CLOUDS, I AM WILD AND FREE.
UNDISTURBED BY THE WIND,
I AM AS GENTLE AS A DOVE’S CRY.
BUT IN AN INSTANT, MY FURY AND RAGE 
CAN EASILY CAPSIZE HUMAN LIVES.

THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE SEA
EACH ONE THE EXPRESSION 
OF IMMENSE BEAUTY 
AND A TASTE OF ETERNITY.
