Your soul is shaken by the turbulent seas
A ship unsuited for the journey
You dream of sleep in safe harbor
Salt water washes your tears.
Without a course you drift
Upon the waves
The last drop of fresh water
Has moistened your lips
Seeking the guidance of the stars
You gaze upon the skies
Dark clouds obscure your view
And send you to the maelstrom.
In the darkest of the muddy night
A ray of light stirs your soul
The clouds have parted
And Polaris appears.
With hope abandoned
You glide toward the light
Blind faith fills your sails
And leaves the storm in your wake.
Fatigue and failure grip your spirit
You are overtaken with sleep
Your nightmares are quiet
And you float peaceful like a gull.
Was it the light or the heat
That stirred you at dawn?
Calm. Steady. Warm.
A harbor safe from the sea.
That faulty compass at your feet
It was so foolish to trust
Tossed overboard, it disappears
Quietly like your past.
