Feast of the Visitation, 2021

Sonnet

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.
And my spirit exults in God my saviour.
Love is never lost only stored.
It is encompassed all about with grandeur.

I gazed upon the sea today.
It visits but never stays.
Ever changing blue, green, and grey.
Hiding its heart in distant gaze.

I feel it’s movement within me.
The moment it visits my heart.
It is the remorseless sea.
Engraved and remembered on the mind’s chart.

Even away I feel it’s presence.
Invading, soothing every sense.

Haiku

In every visit
A memory is yet stored
Like the sea it stays
