A Sea Rages, Swells, Calms.

Oh hollow sound,

That chest thumping

Engine does Fire the

Soul, rousing its deep

Slumber amidst the cloud.

The sea boils over as

Insipid statements vacate

My hollow mouth

Drips venom from its limestone,

The stalagmites offer no wave break.

Why resist a tide if the boat

Sinks to the bottom of its own

Will?

Why persist hauling land to you

When it refuses to give?

Loose your minute, release the

Tied string from your hand.

The brain is a ruined, hollow, shell

That falters from its duty of

Assistance.

Give in, desist, relinquish.

Self is lost in my lack of

Helping you.

But I learn.

I improve and I try,

I form my self,

I reform myself.

Taking part in a grand dance of

My soul, I am again made for you.

I must be, I must act, I must help

For you.

I will help,

I will try

I will continue to improve.

I will be,

I will love,

All only for you.
