Something Is Out There
Standing alone
At the shoreline tonight
I drop to my knees
Something’s not right
In the back of my mind
There is this thing you see
A something that is quiet
But won’t let me be
As fast as I run
I know it is there
I try to stand still
To catch it unaware
This something is cunning
And lightning fast
I know if I am strong
It really won’t last
The wind in my face
The rain at my back
This something is close
Poised for attack
I kneel quietly in reverence
Trying to correct
My old tired ways
In search of respect
Standing alone
At the shoreline tonight
What only seemed dark
Now shines truly bright
