it's like the sun setting on the water....

i sat down in the sand,
and buried my feet into it....
the coolness on the top, 
got cooler the deeper they crawled....

there were a few people.
but only distant.
children's laughter.
little squeals.

i hugged my knees loosely.
it was chilly.
and the waves came in their rhythmic sets.
kissing the shore, as if they had just gotten home.

far out in the water, the sun glistened for miles....
it looked so beautiful resting on the horizon,
hugging the water....
saying good night....

the coolness grew cooler.
i hugged my knees tighter.
i buried even more sand over my toes.
and looked out.... to who knows where.
who knows where the horizon ends.... 
where you'd end up if you rode out to that point.....

you can zoom into your heart.
you can zoom into His....
when you follow His word,
you heart becomes light....
like the sky from the sun....

and when you set yourself free from the anger....
it's like the weight of the world is lifted from your chest.
you can breathe.
you know you've done just what He'd want....
just what you're supposed to do....
but only when it's REAL....
only when those actions are GENUINE..... will you begin to feel the difference....

there's this certain peace that comes with the ocean....
just like that of loving our Lord....
it's kind of like the sun setting on the water....
it gives you that kind of peace, 
and you know it will, again, be there for you tomorrow....
