The Jetty --need to flesh out the 'spiritual impact ' behind this event
i have the most incredible friends.
the other night, [ LJ User: klemrev ] and [ LJ User: thelemurgod ] threw me, ambrose, and hatter a going away party
because we’re all moving....and it was wonderful. I’ve never had one before that wasn’t the typical ’because we have
to’ office thing.
BUT....i have to say that what happened the next day was probably one of the more signifigant memories of my time
in maine.....
klemrev and i had gone down to camp ellis so i could see this jetty that she’s always talking about....well, it was raining
on the way down, but we went any way...
long story short [because i’m not on my own computer and i don’t have a ton of time] we got caught out on the jetty
in a deluge of rain/lightning, etc......and i could not imagine having spent that afternoon any other way. sure, it was
’just a walk on the jetty’ but for reasons i won’t/am not able to go into at this point, it impacted me in a way that
i was not expecting.....to the point that i’m writing a song [strangely this one is forming with music included, which
almost never happens for me] about it......
it’s unfinished, but here is what has been penned so far....
The Jetty
There’s so much to be seen
But the day’s fading fast
as the storm clouds come rolling in
There’s so much to be said,
but i can’t find the words
Show me something i still haven’t seen...
//take me on an adventure
as my fears i surrender
leave them down where the rocks meet the sea
and i feel my heart soar
as the rain starts to pour
come and walk on the jetty with me
come and walk on the jetty with me//
As we come to the end,
and we’re saying good-bye
I remember God’s unending grace
We’ve been tested by fire
We’ve been tossed in the storm
But through all of it, we are still yours
//Take me on an adventure
as my fears i surrender
Leave them down where the land meets the sea
I can feel my heart soar as the rain starts to pour
come and walk on the jetty with me
Come and walk on the jetty with me//
The rain falls and we’re both soaking wet
as the afternoon comes to an end
But we smile and we say we’ll remember this day
and we’ll walk on the jetty again
//And we’ll go on an adventure
and our fears we’ll surrender
Leave them down where the rocks meet the sea
And we’ll feel our hearts soar
as your love starts to pour
And out on the Jetty you’ll be
walking out on the jetty we’ll see
the holiness you’re teaching me
out on the jetty
out on the jetty
walking out on the jetty with me
