Pastel Tide

Stroll along the ocean's edge,
View skies of pastel color,
Hear dolphins sing their serenades,
Love songs, to one another.

Breathe deeply of salt-scented air,
Warmed by evening rays.
Relax, as day draws near its end;
Take time to give God praise.

As for now, enjoy the peace,
Instilled by painted skies,
Reflections in the oceans deep,
I call God's pastel tide.

As His presence fills the earth,
There's glory all around,
Tiny shells, to costly pearls.
To us, His love abounds.

Cast your cares upon the waves;
Let all your fears subside.
Washed away, forever gone…
By God's great pastel tide.
