I am in the heart of God
And God is in my heart.
There is no place, no organisation
No institution, that holds me
To this earth, rather I am connected
To every family under heaven
By the heart dwelling One.
As the tide rises and falls,
As the waves crash and the shingle rattles,
I am in awe of the order of creation,
The patterns of time and chaos,
Of light and colour, dark and shadow.
My breath goes out on the breeze
And returns to refresh me again.
My muscles move, my brain imagines:
The world rotates and the sun breaks through.
With each movement I know you
As Companion and side walking one.
When the stones scatter as we step together
Or you catch me as my feet stumble,
I know you have been this way before.
I hear the sounds of the shore,
Gulls and people start their morning shriek,
Yet they do not disturb my focus.
I am in the heart of God
And God is in my heart.
