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.
