Lord, you are my island

Lord, you are my island.
In your bosom I rest.
You are the calm of the sea.
In that peace I lie.
You are the deep waves of the ocean.
In their depths I stay.
You are the silence of the spheres.
In that space I live.
You are the smooth white strand of the shore.
In its swell I sing.
You are the ocean of life that laps my being.
You are the Lord of my life.
In you is my eternal joy.

--Ray Simpson, from 40 Prayers from Celtic Christianity, 2014
