SEA OF FAITH

A sad and lonely island

Within a sea of sheer despair

I saw your ship go sailing by

As though it had no care

Silenced by the ocean

Your voice I couldn’t hear

But you whispered out your thoughts to me

I felt your presence near

They were troubled like the waters

And they crashed against the waves

But your boat just kept on sailing

Towards the darkened caves

I threw a line to reach you

But the rope was much too short

I watched your fear now mounting

Off this ship you must abort

But there was nowhere left to go

The sea was choppy; dragged you in

Much further than expected

A battle you wouldn’t win

No longer could I see you

You were pulled within its grasp

I could hear your mind call out to me

In a quiet weakened rasp

I willed with all my heart

And I prayed with all my soul

That the motion of the waves

Would throw you out of that big hole

So I waited on the shore line

Longing for your safe return

Yelling out to empty hope

Your fate I had to learn

And when all my will was fading

I saw a distant shining light

Serenity was calling you

You no longer had to fight

The angels had come calling

They were here to take you back

Angry seas you would no longer dwell

The courage you’d not lack

Now the waters they grew calmer

A sea of tranquil peace

You waved to me with smiling eyes

The fear was now deceased ..........
