The Bay of New Beginnings

I'm standing on the shore 
of the Bay of New Beginnings 
You have met me Here before
my heart heavy, my head swimming 

The sand, this time, is Soul
Your Dear Heart, the Wide Horizon 
Your Deep Goodness, gloaming-gold 
The True Light I fix my eyes on

This endless Inner Sea 
These pebbled pains I'm throwing 
Life forever calling me 
to begin anew Love's Knowing

~Cheryl Anne Maris 
a song from my inner Inner Hebrides 
with gratitude for the far reaching rippling gifts of pilgrimage
