Ode to SOS II

I love You like 
Food is for survival but it feeds the soul 

One day rushes in another makes you wait 

Something happens when God’s children sing 
Hearts joined back together made whole 

A sailboat wedding have we
Bride-to-be steps out onto aboard 
To enjoy sometimes endure 
The sea

It’s a party for everybody but
Underneath it’s about we 
Before the boat pulled away from safety 
It was you and me 
But entering the deep we 

Tied together with Heavenly 
Knot 
Knitted perfectly 
And are still yet free to be 
Individually called designed seen 

How lovely the harbour in fine weather 
But beyond 
We need to work together 
We move in unison a picture of 
Oneness-forever 

Bride and Groom walking on these waters 
A wedding under clouds and blue before supper 
White wedding right attire for 
The more 
That we’ve always been looking for 
Waiting to be adored 
And to adore 

Bride and Groom will sail only a while 
‘Till land is finally reached 
This very moment 
When boat hits shore 
What else for centuries has man been preaching for? 

To return hand in hand 
Ready for honey 
In a new 
That shines needless of a moon 

Needing not a sun
For that glow will now come 
For His bride from the Groom 

So hold your glass tight lift it high now 
Take your holy bread 
We’re sailing 
Still 
‘Till all the vows are said 
Moving out on the water in merriment 
Looking out over the water 
For a moment longer yet 

The scene is decorated for fun 
But today is also a serious one 
It’s about promise 
Weighty as the ship that holds 
The sail that strengthens when wind blows 
The look on the face of the bride 
Says I’m here to be by Your side 
No matter the pull of tide 

In and amidst the mystery of floating 
The Groom does some heartfelt boasting 
He is the Captain of this love 
He steers the direction of this dance 

In the distance rings a bell 
It’s faint but one by now we all know well 
Sounds and sights on this sea 
Are what we were made to hear and see 
The distant shore now appearing closer 
Makes the returning easy to believe
