The Water's Edge

How far have I wandered to here? Oh where, where have I been taken? Through calm and gripping fear A path so long and beyond forsaken With its yonder endless horizon Stubborn the will to carry on As sure as the next sun’s rising To fade again as it be gone And lay those fears of strife at rest At the end of life’s long trek Determined was I in my quest Time and again not to look back Behold I searched with you in mind Alas I’m barred by this rocky ledge And all my hopes of what to find End here, here at the water’s edge The mist it unites within my tears The sky becomes just like the sea My life just one of many years It sewn within the heart of me My pleas silenced by the roar This raging sea that I have found My search ending upon this shore Lost within an ocean’s sound
