Ticket 2 Ride

I have navigated my own life

This vessel may not agree

Melting into the horizon

Becoming one with the sea

—

Lessons come from failure

Bailing water from the storm

Setting my solitary journey

Refusing to conform

—

The wind will rise again

Filling my tattered sail

Cutting the angry whitecaps

Forcible as a mighty whale

—

When I look into those eyes

Rescuing this lost castaway

Embraced by a calm, safe harbor

Dropping anchor I will stay
