Walking the sea of life
My mother told me Some day I would find An energetic river Filled with pickle brine Way out far beyond the yards I seek beneath the stars Children of love, a woman torn I reach to pull out all the thorns In this light I start to see A fragile chance to simply be We are not lost—we are just walkers Drifting through what life offers Walking the sea of life untold Through shattered dreams and hearts of gold Rose-colored glass was never true It broke to show what I once knew Splintered light and open art Revealed the truth—my bleeding heart Through all the pain, the dark, the wrong… I’ve loved you all along
