Tonight The Sea Is Tranquil Poem by Gert Strydom

Tonight the sea is tranquil
and in the distance
the lights of the lighthouse flashes
and is gone
and the nearby Warf is still
while near the horizon a ship moves on
and cars move high up on the hill.

Far away over the sea
there are places
where I have never been
and continents and countries
that I have never seen

and at their set rhythm and time
the waves rushes in
and thunder on the big rocks
as they have from the begin
and yet like a grain of sand
I remain in God’s almighty hand.
