Faithful Calling

I miss you like I am the only ship on the ocean
Meandering around, with land so far away.
I know the skies are open to me with my ventures.
I know there is every sunrise and sunset to capture.
I know the white crest waters keep moving anyway.
I must float with them willingly, for I cannot stay
Lost in ocean space so vast, changing colors every day.
It is almost as if I am searching for you, but you are not here.
I must float with the tides of change, beneath me.
While love greets my lonely heart, images of your face.
I want to finish our faithful calling we started, before you passed.
Accept it will not be done together, as we hoped it would.
I can only let go of some things, so the anchor doesn’t hold me.
The rest must live on in purpose, to keep me from sinking.
