Beekman Beach

If I'm not good enough for Heaven
And not bad enough for Hell
Then send me to Beekman Beach.
That's my home.
The seagulls know me
And I know them.
The waves mark time on the shore
and all the kids have fun.

After death, I will be a spirit.
How wonderful to be able to fly
up and over the waves,
alone or with the birds.
How pleasant to watch
passing of days.
Dominus Vobiscum

The bay at night

That is where I feel closest to God
That is, when everyone else is away.
I can pray
Be quiet
and listen
to what God
and nature
are saying.

I can get away from the noise
From my family and TV
And listen to the gentle lapping of the water,
The shuffle of my feet on the sand
And the feel of my deep breathing.
It is like my own private church and spa.
Dominus Vobiscum
God be with you.

Storm of Madness

The moon shines bright
Over the water.
My arms are empty.
All is still.
Daddy!
Daddy
Comes out of the water
Wearing his red shorts.
And

He knows what I did.
He was in the water
Watching, praying, waiting.
But God told him not to
Worry.
Worry!
That's what a parent does.
And I survived, lived,
With no effects.

Daddy said that he knew about the madness.
He had had it himself.
But he would be with me
For always,
He and God
God and me.
And sometimes death
Did not win.

You know what?
Oneness between God,
My Dad and me
That's cool.
That's all!
Don't let the madness overcome you.
Dominus Vobiscum!!!!!!!!!!!!
God be with you
