Lost at Sea

Engulfed. Plunging. Thrashing about desperately, 
my heart fights to get a gasp of air. 
The weight pulls me down deeper and deeper 
into the black ocean of darkness and loneliness. 
A single tear slips down my cheek, 
the only manifestation of the storm raging in me. 

“Father!” from these depths I call to you; 
you feel so far but where else can I go? 
Only you can hear; only you can rescue. 
Help me be lost in the boundless 
ocean of your love for me.
