Turbulent Ocean
Tossed about sea
The sound of the heart
Inside of me
Seething and sighing
Through night and
Through tears
The sigh is deafening
The lonely is a prison sentence
And I hold the pardon

This is the only home
I know
Alone
Unknown
Bowing to a whim
That’s not my own
I can see me
On the other side of decision
Me free
Me, being me
But so afraid of that cross
The crossover
Through the raging rapids
Of pain and loss
This fear of losing
Holds me captive to
The place that’s not my own
Someone else’s idea
Someone else’s life
Someone else’s yes
My soul sighing
No!
My whole life

But loss
Holds down my arms and legs
Hands over my mouth
Constant threat
Looming
Looming
Over my life
Mocks freedom

But there is One
To Whom I’m known
One who speaks for me
One who speaks over me
A little while longer
And joy will not withhold
Its reward
Its ecstasy
Its home
