My Soul Like a Tidal Wave

My soul like a tidal wave is churning
All through the night
Some unspoken thing in me is yearning
All through the night

O come wrap your fair arms around me
Give my slumber peace
Tell me your love is for me only
And let my torment cease.

My mind like a ship westward wandering
All through the night
Berth me at the window of your slumbering
All through the night

O wake and see my lips so tremble
For the glass cold pane
I too would fly but fear dreams may tumble
To meaningless again.

This is the type of comfort and love we all need, David. "I, too, would fly but fear dreams may tumble" describes the main reason many people live inside shells after having their hearts broken. Bravo for you for setting sail on the "tidal wave" again! Love, Carolyn
