Just Sail
Lay me down
Upon soft blue water
I surrender
Close my eyes
As I drown in you
I well remember
All those hands
That eluded me
As I went under
The sting of salt
That filled my heart
That cold November
No matter now
I’ve learned to swim
The toxic sea
The bottomless
Of loneliness
Unveiled to me
So, lay me down
Upon soft blue water
I’ll surrender
But not enough
To lose myself
To a cold November
