Poem by Albert Durrant Watson

God and Man

GOD is eternity, the sky, the sea,
  The consciousness of universal space,
  The source of energy and living grace,
Of life and light, of love and destiny,
God is that deep, ethereal ocean, free,
  Whose billows keep their wide unbarriered place
  Amid the stars that move before His face
In robes of hurricane and harmony.

A light that twinkles in a distant star,
  A wave of ocean surging on the shore,
  One substance with the sea; a wing to soar
Forever onward to the peaks afar,
  A soul to love, a mind to learn God's plan,
  A child of the eternal–such is man.
