I stand in the stormy sea,
it sharpens me, shapes me, yet hurts me
For no one sails near me
yet I stand to offer thee,
a place to rest in this raging sea
Unaware of what I was and what I wanted
I struggled here too,
Waiting for someone to rescue me too
Now when I know my purpose of survival,
I stand here to keep you safe and hold you around
The wind is strong and the tide is high,
stay here my friend for a while
Leave me when you are homeward bound,
when the sea is gentle and still
I know you are scared and troubled
But troubled mind is the best muse
For in the unrest,
In the tempest of thoughts,
words flow unhindered too
It’s just the night, my friend
and it will be over soon
when the sun comes up,
you can leave me too
My eyes blazing with zeal when you find a way home
For I am stranded here for ages to come
This is my home,
This is where I belong
Before you leave,
tell me this
will you remember me,
will you come back to me sometime?
For I feel so alone here
when the water is gone and there is no one near,
I want waves to hit me one more time
For the chaos they create,
Make me feel alive once again
