Bring the Ships Home

When we first met, I was like the northern seas

Dark, turbulent, frozen, and distant

Icebergs were there, those were the emotions that

I could feel

They were capable of crushing you, tearing you open

before dragging you down into the frozen depths

Quickly, though, faster than I could have ever imagined

You took from me those frozen seas

Maybe you took me from those frozen seas

I'm not sure which and I'm not sure that the distinction

really matters

You guided me, like a lighthouse, carefully past the hidden rocks,

dangerous currents, and the changing tides

Before I knew it, you had led me to warmer, calmer, clearer seas

Seas that reflected the clear blue beauty of the skies

Where I surprisingly found myself leading other boats and ships

to calmer ports for their replenishment

Thank you for bringing the ships home from sea
