Poetry and the like, by Amy Opal Marshall

Holy Ghost

Along ridge and roll of every wave
    and shore the most,
I feel and hear the breath -
    the voice of the Holy Ghost.

Thus no wonder my heart and soul
    should pine and pull to be present by the sea -
To walk, to sit and soak in
    His presence here with me.

Over the deep I catch the rays
    of his delight and bright caress,
And listen true to his song and sound -
    that which words cannot express.

Constant as the breakers beat
    the sand upon the coast,
Breaks and beats his heart for us -
    Here I hear the love of the Holy Ghost.
