Wild Sea

Missing image

the mirror of my heart

wild, beating in hopes

to reach the shore

to touch the sky

to meet the rocks and smooth

the wreckage of my life upon the sand

a tempest surging, raging, suffering

the pain of unrequited love

of dreams denied and secrets stolen

the metamorphosis of a wild sea

as it endlessly fights to realize

sacred hopes which never die

the mirror of my soul in hopes

that will die with my death

 

Author notes

Inspired by the soul blues song, "Wild Sea" by Karl Weiss: http://www.isound.com/karl_weiss/albums/1129636/worn_out_shoes
