As Time Churns Poem by Valsa George

As Time Churns

Rating: 5.0


I feel the thrill of a naughty kid
when the spray of lashing waves
falls in sprinkles all over
soaking me from head to foot

I swim in waves of delight
when the arms of the moon
through the vagrant clouds
are extended to pamper n' caress me

I enjoy a sensuous thrill
when the stars from behind
their cerulean veil, wink at me
beckoning me to join their night revelry

I enjoy perfect stillness and calm
when sleep closes my eyelids
and into a deep slumber I enter
afloat on a dreamy bubble

I know these sensations are brief
and are whisked away too soon
by the ever churning currents
and time's unerring movement

But I savour an abiding bliss
when God's hands enclose me
in a loving embrace and am
illumined by the Divine Light

Those blissful moments are what life is truly about. To feel so alive with the thrill and to know the comfort of sleep in the hands of spirit.
