and roar like the caged lion.

The sea whines and whimpers
as I contained...

in the stormy sea of life,
Sullen thoughts invaded my mind
Dark waves lashed my heart
Until you came aboard,
lost at sea, my soul found the shore.

In our quiet refuge, a wild clamor rings,
Waves relentlessly pound our fragile haven's wings.
 
A hidden portal, glimpsed through faith's bright gleam,
Offers escape from this tumultuous, watery dream.
 
We are shepherds adrift on the sea's vast expanse,
Some clinging to icy peaks, others finding warmth in...
