Lost At Sea
Gazing out over the steel grey ocean
I lose myself in the sounds of the seagulls’ cry.
My heart feels loneliness, sadness and hollowness
And I don’t know why.
I shift my gaze to the darkening sky,
While the soft evening mist gently kisses my face
Trying so hard to console these feelings inside.
My heart starts to race
With clear thoughts of another time and place,
Standing on the deck of that vessel all alone
With a sense of loneliness flooding my soul, my
Throat emits a moan.
Return him to me; he is my life, my
Own true love, listen to me, oh treacherous sea
I can no longer bare such intense sadness, please
Give him back to me.
Standing on that dark shore with thoughts of he,
My body, my heart, my soul, and my spirit pine
Feeling that hollowness so deep inside, yelling
My God, he was mine!
I prayed fervently losing all sense of
Time, my agony surrendered to My Lord, God’s
Son, who heard my pleas, then mercifully proclaimed,
“Our spirits… are one!”
Gazing out over the steel grey ocean
I lose myself in the sounds of the seagulls' cry
And the vivid memories of a love so strong,
This will never die.
