The Voyage of Time
Can a worthy analogy suffice?
You're as a raging storm calming the sea.
The winds, they howl calling to entice,
And the ocean's depths cannot contain thee.
Sometimes too much does pain ignore advice,
And often sanity threatens to leave.
And all we knew washes down with the tides
By choice do we hold onto our beliefs.
But in this voyage, there's nothing to hide.
Nor are we blind to what we choose to see
Nor can the sun deny the strong moonlight
When thunder and mist make peace, two exist
So long as darkness dies for dawn each night,
So will the depths of promises, each time.
