SET SAIL

To bear this soul
alone
has been my quest.
What I have done
a purpose
now
breeds light and air
lacks direction
dare I steer?
This ship that's rampant
on a motherly sea
the crew abandoned
left only me
starved for days
There has been no land
to rest my sails
I've been misguided
directly to hell
and now the waters
against the grain
have brought no mercy
nor has the rain

I sail and sail
through night and day
well worth the fight
I found my way
My compass hidden
worn and old
deep in my pocket
deep in my soul.
An oasis awaited
my return
your healing hands
to tend my burns
And eyes I know
from long ago
From the heavens
from before.
Before our journeys
in high tide
Made it back
for our life.
