THE POETRY PLACE
Poetry by Sally Chambers

Wave Walkers

Would that I could walk the wave
And calm the stormy sea
Would that I could be so brave
To search and find the key
I listen for the still small voice
And cast my doubt away
Making faith my only choice
I trust in Him and pray

Together, hand in hand we walk
Through life's uncertainty
I'm grateful, Lord--you are my Rock
The Light that bids me see
That all around is solid ground
When you are leading me

Mystic

Follow Me.
I glide away on silvered feet
In golden dusk
Filtered through the sand and dust
Blown across deserts barren of green
Glittering in wet worlds of majestic
Rain filled kingdoms of reflected fire
Unutterable whispers of gentle color
Borne untouched by velvet wings
I follow You

Follow Me.
I reach with gilded, up stretched arms
Warmed in sunset
Washed by tide's eternal feathered froth
Falling through waves of solar wind
Soaring sailing splintered into joy
Tumbling ever upward, warmed, loved
Sated, quenched, filled by Spirit secrets
Shared in musical wordless voices
I follow You

Held

Rolls in the great unending tide
moon-tugged
Rolls on the rain-bruised cloud
wind-tossed
Rolls over the desert tumbleweed
gravity-gripped
And what O Lord of man

Tugged tossed yet gripped in
Love revealed
Held in Power unconcealed
O Lord my God
You are
I AM

Sand Dancing

Feather light she whirls on tiptoe
Diaphanous gown swings fair and free
A lithesome figure in pale star-glow
Lost in joy beside the sea

Hemmed in by tidal pools and ocean
Weaving lines beneath the moon
Rapt in the never-ending motion
Her steps draw closer to the dune

Sandy shadows mirror grace
Footprints follow in her wake
Sea foam laughs creating lace
Atop the waves that toss and break

Sand-danced love lifts up to God
A yielded spirit filled with peace
Praiseful rhythm meant to laud
Designs a prayer that does not cease
