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
