Aye, the depthless ocean - my oldest friend.
I have long since forgotten
the language of the waves.

They whispered your name to me.
Yet another futile voyage, surely?
A most perilous journey
with an equally perilous end?

Past the uncertainty, something stirs in me.
Was it hope? Blind, dangerous hope?

I steel my mind and clench my fists.
With my heart as my only compass,
I lay my eyes towards the depths.

I had braved the harshest currents.
I had faced the tempestuous storms.
I had endured the wrath of the seas and skies.

But for you, I would set sail once more.
Must a perilous journey always be met with an equally perilous end?

Should distance and uncertainty be our undoing?

Take the risk. Relearn the winds. Set sail once more.

he did not find purpose
in the titles
the money
none of that

so into the forest he went
to lose his mind
to lose his life
but to find his soul

years i have spent
wandering aimlessly in the dark

blackest nights come nigh
where one's blinks make no difference

i stumble and fall into walls and corners
enveloped in darkness' veil

-

but today i saw the sun
radiant and pure

and for once in my life
all felt well

for once in my life
i was home

sun
stop asking for so little -

i would give you

the sun

oh, how delightful would it be
to know that you're wanted

to be reassured
that the world would be lacking
without you

to be gently pressed into his chest
as he whispers honeyed words
into your little ear

-

oh, how delightful it is
to be wanted

— The End —
