sailboat

With each crest of a wave Forming white crystal peaks She weeps Inhales Lets go Beneath a star studded vista A resplendent guiding light Arms open Palms up She is free On a sailboat I am Slowly floating nowhere Lost the memories of Where I am and why Black ocean churning A million stars a burning Planetariums were Right about the sky Oh once upon a day I set off on a journey Wishing on a way To take me far from home Now I'm the waves And I'm taking on water Hard to see I won't always be Alone There was a time when all the sun was High and centered on me But it dipped behind my back and settled down I used to square up with the land I used to size it in my hand But it fell behind the line that meets the sky And now I don't even try, yeah I just wanna wake up somewhere I don't know I just wanna take up some air on my own And when I find it I swear that I'll know Nothing is broke in The path that I've chosen I gave up that notion So long ago Oh so long as I go Oh once upon a day I set off on a journey Wishing on a way To take me far from home Now I'm the waves And I'm taking on water Hard to see I won't always be Alone The soothing sea winds Carrying away her grief and sorrow Hands posed in devotion She smiles In a seascape of serenity Her baptism place of choice She steps forward Her new beginning
