At Sea

My lips part, no words fall
The sea holds a face unknown
I stand between a world and void
Nothing feels safe

Sails rise, the air stills
The keel cuts a silver path
Horizon swallows me whole
I am at sea

The wind unveils a shifting sign
A breath held tight
The sea reveals no friend to find
No guiding sight

Waves start to grow and howl
The deep calls my name aloud
Clouds blur the shadowed Sun
Will I endure?

The storm has come, it's locking me
I will not break
The swell can drown but can't unmake
The oath I take

No matter the pain, no matter the fear
I watch the world I knew fall down
The sea and I have learned to share
Leaving the safe harbor ground

Faith as a breath for life in face of the doubt
The storm I faced became the truth I gained

Time unfolds what I am
Eyes no longer look away
Now I walk beyond the line I once believed

Here at last I belong
Signs arise and slowly decay
Every dream can be reclaimed to live again
