Through the star speckled night
‘Till the dawn’s naked light
A lone mariner watches the sea
Straining his eyes
Wind blown and tired
He searches across uncharted seas
The watch he keeps
While others sleep
Perched on the mast’s dizzy heights
The adventure of the quest
At a queen’s behest
Like fire in his blood, burns bright
Silently on deck far below
Sailors emerge in the dawn’s golden glow
To toil another day on the endless sea
No hope do they show
It died long ago
In the storms and wind
And the merciless heat
Then a miracle appears
An albatross draws near
A blessing bestowed from the cloudless sky
With the eyes of a sage
And a masterful gaze
Beside the mast he flies
Above the ship he soars
An unspoken promise of distant shores
The mariners welcome him with song
No longer alone
And yearning for home
The sea is where they belong
High on the mast a mariner cries
Calls to his mates as land he spies
Like a dark cloud on the horizon it lies
As jubilation erupts below
A spice-laden breeze begins to blow
Perfumed with flowers from exotic isles
With billowing sails
And rations of ale
The ship sails to the land
Forgotten the treasures they were sent to find
The honors of men they had left behind
Just the sapphire sea and the golden sand
On the wings of the Albatross how wide they expand♥️
beautifully expressed Almine – the long, long, sometimes hopeless journey, all pain and despair forgotten, when we finally come Home to ourselves once again – the familiar, yet pristine Shore… thank you for this message
FOUR PILLARS OF LOVE
When the love reaches an unconditional magnitude
and reveals to us that, which yet was not dealt with.
It also gives us the courage to deal with that.
When the truth becomes today’s truth
and not the view of the past.
We feel joy on the journey to the heart of God.
Widely open arms of the Mother
are Divine compassion of her children
When our inner family is brought together
by the integrity of One Life
It stabilizes that which is right for all.
LOVE
