Enigmatic Pacific

Deep blue waters of the Pacific
seem unfathomable and enigmatic.
Wading in it makes you feel blessed,
Touching the sublime waters gives you
the warmth of love that is divine,
Watching the waves splash over the rocks
gives you a moment of quiet introspection,
Feeling the moving waters touch the forlorn
shores of your mind,
Takes you back to the past—-
You hear the voices of your ancestors,
You are here to serve the sad, suffering humanity
for whom you are born,
You do what is still left undone by others,
You leave behind your footprints on the sands of Time!
