Lost at sea

The waves of life Waves of strife Casting me about My voice tries to shout Get me out Fighting to stay above And not lose the love Hard to do And be true Trouble on the sea Trying hard to see Which way to go You never know Wave after wave Leading to an early grave Tossed around life becomes a roaring sound Our hearts become unbound No map to lead the way So many shades of gray On my knees Hear my pleas Light my way Come in and stay Give me the strength to stay afloat Fulfill the thirst in my throat Take away the visions that haunt Tell me what is it you want Allow my ears to hear To rise above my fear Became my light Cleared my sight Passed me a rope Cause you gave me hope When I feel I am at my end My knees I bend Your ear you lend Lost at sea Gave me sight to see Placed my feet on Solid ground My heart came unbound You helped me to see Who I am meant to be And that set me free

I read with hopes for freedom, which thankfully came at the end. The sea can mean so many things to people. Thank you for this one.
