Waves
The gentle pull of floating waves,
The current strong that sinks or saves.
It stirs my heart to sing along,
A voiceless tune that turns to song.
It brings to me eternal rest,
Cradled to the river’s breast.
It welcomes me with open arms,
A peace that keeps me from what harms.
My soul will journey on to send,
As spirit mingles with the wind,
A freedom floating over all,
It catches me so I don’t fall.
I spend forever in the deep,
In waters dark my soul will sleep.
The oceans carry me away,
In places far I’ll make my way.
The sea will claim that which is hers,
Be rid of all that clings like burrs.
I’ll join a place away from time,
A place to rest from life’s long climb.
