Driftwood

She walks alone on the frozen shore Cold wind biting as she longs for more A piece of driftwood lying there worn and gray Like her it seems to have lost its way Where did you come from what have you seen? Were you part of something broken or something once serene? Did you weather the storms or did you float on calm seas? Now you're here on this shore in the icy breeze Driftwood on an icy shore tell me where you've been Your silence echoes stories of the places you've seen She sits beside it the only friend she's known Wondering if it's been as lost as alone Were you a piece of a ship or a cabin's wall? Did you once stand tall before the waves made you fall? Where did you come from what have you seen? Were you part of something broken or something once serene? Did you weather the storms or did you float on calm seas? Now you're here on this shore in the icy breeze Driftwood on an icy shore tell me where you've been Your silence echoes stories of the places you've seen She dreams of lands far beyond the sea Of people and places that might never be But in the driftwood's grain there's a life untold A world she longs to touch a story to unfold Now the waves roll in pulling the tide away But the driftwood stays its secrets still at bay She clings to its past as if it could reveal The answers to a life that feels so unreal Where did you come from what have you seen? Were you part of something broken or something once serene? Did you weather the storms or did you float on calm seas? Now you're here on this shore in the icy breeze Driftwood on an icy shore tell me where you've been Your silence echoes stories of the places you've seen And in the driftwood's stillness she sees her own reflection Two souls lost at sea longing for connection
