LAKE OSSIPEE

LAKE OSSIPEE




AND THE SPIRIT MOVED OVER THE WATER
CALLING THE SUN FROM ITS HIDING PLACE
WHETHER CLOUDY OR CLEAR
THE SUN SHONE
FAITHFUL TO ITS TASK
FAITHFUL TO THE JOURNEY
STEADFAST TO ITS COURSE
UNTIL LULLED TO SLEEP IN THE EVENING
AS THE SPIRIT WHISPERED LULLABIES
OVER THE WATER
SINGING THIS DAY IS GOOD
THIS JOURNEY OF A DAY
OR A SEASON
OR A YEAR
WHETHER THE LAKE IS FROZEN
ROUGH
OR MIRROR FLAT
THIS DAY IS GOOD

THE SPIRIT MOVES OVER THE WATER
TELLING THE WORLD OF GOD'S PURPOSE
AND DREAMS FOR HIS CREATION
WRITING ON THE WATER
THE RIPPLES OF A BREEZE
SENDING OUT THE MESSAGE
TO LAP UPON THE SHORES
NO MATTER HOW REMOTE
THE MESSAGE GOD IS
HE LOVES
HE CARES

THE SPIRIT MOVES OVER THE WATER
EVEN IN THE DARK
EVEN IN THE DARK
THE WIND WHISPERS
PREPARE
PREPARE FOR THE COMING OF THE SUN
PREPARE TO HEAR THE MESSAGE
GOD IS
HE LOVES
HE CARES

THE SPIRIT MOVES ABOVE THE WATER
AND CREATION IS RENEWED IN HIS PASSING
