My Tempest

The growling tide of my meandering heart 
Transfixed within the maelstrom of life, 
Fortune's hand has held mine 
Securely grasping at my destiny's soul. 
Life has shown me many paths 
And upon them many obstacles have crossed, 
The prevailing tide has revealed its true visage 
Has remained beside my tempestuous journey 
And i have shown gratitude of great length 
For Wisdom is still strong upon this brow 
And with this i am still whole. 
I know of the secret to all out there 
To the way of dreams and their meanings within, 
The magnitude of my struggles are a mere lesson 
They pride themselves and delve deep 
And yet i remain beside Hope's faith 
For it is the safest place to be. 
This honourable tide of my complex existence 
Caresses my every motion along this road, 
It embraces my thoughts as a companion 
And with this i shall conquer my tempest 
And remain forever whole.
