I am constancy
I am a rock in raging seas
Predictability of endless chaos
Ships splinter against me
I am the sea
The vessel
The survivor in the deep
Reaching out for the same rock
Thoughtless savior
Bits of flotsam in my teeth
I am constancy
I am a rock in raging seas
Predictability of endless chaos
Ships splinter against me
I am the sea
The vessel
The survivor in the deep
Reaching out for the same rock
Thoughtless savior
Bits of flotsam in my teeth
Edge of sleep
Reaching out
Stepping forward gladly
Fall
Into the waters
Dark, quiet, calming
Lost beneath the waves
Sink into the deep
Find peace
A bed to lay
Relax for a breath, then again into the sea
Massive swells
Threat of capsizing
Brace
Take it head on
Don’t turn your bow
There’s nowhere to run
Don’t succumb
Don’t take on water
From the blue above, to the dark blue under
I surface for a while
Try to keep myself abreast of the waves
Take in air, take on water
Slip beneath them once again
Tumbled head
No sense of which way’s up
Chaos below, just as it is above
I’m lost, just flotsam in a raging sea
I’m a wreck
Vessel crushed upon the reefs
I’m just like an ocean
Coming, going as I please
Often quite predictable
Like any open sea
Not to say I’m boring
There are storms and deadly swells
Days of placid beauty
Like a drifting, timeless spell
Hell hath no fury like the mistress of the tide
Holding back the abyss
So many hundred fathoms try
Ache to swallow the world
Become one with beauty
Earth aqua-pearl
