Tossed by the waves of your desire
Towards some undiscovered shore
The headwinds of time seem to conspire
To blow me through the shoals of perception’s harbor
The anchor of unwished-for intuition
Weighs heavily upon the depths of my soul
Unrequited love removes the footprints of ambition
Drowning with a sense of hopeless toil
My billowing heart burns as the saline seas
My mind is troubled as a wakeful dream
The rolling tide is silent to my gentle pleas
A screeching albatross echoes my taciturn screams
I am lost upon an ocean of remorse
Swayed by the siren’s song of longing
I despair of finding my steady homeward course
My spirit scuttled in the bay of unbelonging
I cannot grasp the rolling ocean
But wish to hold the sea within my hands
I am capsized amidst the ceaseless motion
Lost amongst the countless grains of sand
Soon I am washed beyond the shoreline
Drifting aimless as the current wills
Now all the sky is but horizon
As I float careworn with the billows
The raging tempest round me gathers
But somehow I am now untroubled
The waves that now surround me crash and batter
Yet still I remain unperturbed
Till when at last a guiding light calls me
And like a vessel I am homeward steered
Then like a ship I’m harbored safely
Within your loving arms concealed
