Ode to the Deep


You pride in the unseen,
Your pathway is a mystery,
Enigma runs through your vessels,
Your door leads to the untold.

Oh! How you veil your face and set us on an Odyssey,
Oh! How you take away some pieces and we run in a maze,
We sojourn through a haze.
We quest and fight.

We're dispirited by the turbulent sea,
Some hearts falter and flee,
We're led through the night's highway, 
We're intercepted by strangers.

Beyond you is the place we seek,
Through you is the bridge that leads  us there,
We'll no longer be slaves to fear,
We''d have gone through hell's gate.
