floating in a sea of uncertaintyA Sea of Uncertainty

among islands of pain and misery

so I continue to paddle

as the force that moves the world

stays just out of sight

over the curl lies the undiscovered

≈♦≈

so here I fall to my knees

my own raging screams fill my mind

no one knows who I am

the truth behind this forgotten man

without the strength

alone and wasted too tired to stand

 ≈♦≈

a vision appears from the dark

light and clear carried on silken wings

one step too far I am

so the thoughts that hound my sleepA Sea of Uncertainty

through the dreariness

reaches a hope and something more

≈♦≈

travels that led me here

a place of nothing and desolation

trapped and lost I am

by choices and actions of my own

the road I’ve walked

paved with depravity and twisted intentions

≈♦≈

suddenly in the midst

of all the black and cold merciless fear

there is something more

someone whose hands hold my future

behind a forced smile

my heart begins to beat again

≈♦≈A Sea of Uncertainty

the blood that dripped

crimson life was drained silently away

breathing in raged gasps

from ashes I rise to hesitatingly stand

crying out life, life, life

to just believe despite my unbelief
