Cast my line after placing bait,
Hoping for a nibble,
Reeling back instead of trying to anticipate,
Overcast begins to drizzle,
Others begin to head in,
Foul weather beckons them,
I stay there just floating,
Singing and calling then,
Just a nibble even a bite,
Nothing is on the line,
Still I grasp tight,
I see the one and call out mine,
In my mind of course,
Setting the line with care,
Casting in probably the worse,
Weather imaginable still I sat there,
Come take a bite and get hooked,
On a feeling not many experience,
Don't swim past and overlook,
Look past the ignorance,
Start understanding with no bait no lure,
No beauty no siren no song,
No reason to come ashore,
No reason to cast all along,
I didn't mean to get you with bait,
I didn't mean to hurt you,
I just didn't know how to relate,
I apologize even though I meant too,
Just let you be happy,
Gracious in your flow,
Balanced  harmony,
Complete and mellow,
So I'll release you back,
Cast all over again,
Hoping you come back,
So I can see you again
