Sandpipers

Watching the sea
At the Beach
Joyful, yet troubled,
Knowing we are
Like the sandpipers;
Dashing so fast,
Tiny legs blurring,
Carrying them
Up the beach,
Away from endless
Waves, running
As we do,
Away from God's love.

Like those jittery birds
Racing back
To receding water,
Pecking, picking
At food;
We absorb parts
Of God's love
That cause little trouble.
We seek fast food,
Quick snacks
Then back away,
Never permitting
That massive love
To engulf us.

Why don't we Seek God's love
Like the gull or pelican,
Searching for food,
Plunging head-on
Into surging waves
From great heights?

A jarring blow to the head
And morsels are the reward
For their pain and risk.
They live in it,
Fly into it,
Float on it,
Dive deeply into it.

Could we follow
The gull and pelican,
Plunging into God's love?

What is our fear?
That we will die
in God's love?
