Le Cœur de la Mer *Heart of the Sea*
by Janell Renée Ward
God is Faithful.
It is witnessed by
mon esprit troubles –
my troubled mind,
mon âme imprudente—
my reckless soul
amid this scummy earth;
I have felt his kindness
flood up on my toes.
It sprouted up
from
Le Cœur de la Mer,
and cleansed the muck
off my sole.
His patience is
as long as
couloir dans l'océan –
The hallways of the deep;
His gentleness drowns out
ma fierté —
my prideful eyes.
ma volonté —
my stubborn will.
ma culpabilité —
my vicious guilt.
I want to swim to the
place
where God is;
But the current of his
mercies would
m'écraser, me submerger,
and consume all my love—
Ravager ma connaissance.
So I will wait patiently to see him, and
I will float only by this truth:
His love
is
incalculable,
arcane,
magnifique!
He is like
Le Cœur de la Mer—
The heart of the
sea,
toujours parfait—
Perfect
always.
