I thought I found a way through the darkness I thought that inside of the grief I was holding was a boat In the the middle of the ocean Setting out like it had never felt the cold, crisp, blue water below it’s body And the boat would rise its sails like white flags in the night, all alone Breathing hushed breaths As to not wake the old beast swimming circles around its heart But how foolish, how cowardly To silence your own love Love that could swallow a ship whole That’s what I would tell her, The floating boat All alone in her ocean Breath louder, next to the rising and setting sun Find your space in this giant world No matter how big your grief feels You are not a sinking ship, It is spiritual to get the boat out of the bottle Breathe louder Break free
