High above the crashing breakers
Beyond the daylight of the sky
Exists a barren crusted mass
That reflects light back to earth
Penetrating the darkness of night
Is an illuminating oblique feature
Which serves a specific purpose
We call this spotlight the moon
A rotating orb which circles the earth
To preform its 24 hour cleaning service
Controlling tidal movements for our planet
The tides obey every command
Going to and fro and in and out
Cleansing every impurity into the seas
Our tides create a natural recycling system
Purging shores from daily tarnish
Erasing any signs with just one wave
These blemishes are quickly forgotten
As far as the east is from the west
This is symbolic of God’s unconditional love
Who cleanses another undeserving soul from sin!
(c) Jay Mankus, July 1996.
This was a poem which was inspired by a Carman song from the 1990’s. As I asked the Lord what to write yesterday, I heard a still small voice remind me of this poem. Thus, today it is reborn in a new format. I hope you enjoy the message! My these tides serve as a fresh start for 2013!
