Sea of Hope

Sea of Hope

I am astray in this world of broken dreams
Like a lost buoy in a gale force sea
A drunken sunken anchor in shifting sands
Not knowing which way the tide will take me
Which wave will save me; to carry me away to a
Paradise shore; where no troubles lie in store.
Maybe I can sprout and grow a new shoot, or a branch
To let them know there's life in the old sea dog yet!
Give unto me my haven in the sun, where I can hide
Away from the lost ships crow's nest.
Thus leaving me for another day in my domain of ecstasy
Concealed safely from troubled ways; under palms umbrella.
When I grow my new garden of life, fishing for
Answers in the immortal sea, then I will know
Where I am in this world that's untamed but
Still wild and free.
