In the oceans of my mind

travel dimly sights and sounds

through the waters of my past

to the spring that swells my soul.

Murky waters hide my fears

from the forefront of my mind.

Yet within them still I swim

searching for that treasured gold.

Silently the waves move past me

turning me round and round

'til I can not break the surface

and the depths, they pull me down.

Suddenly I yearn for air....

Of babe's first breath I start to dream

but all is lost beneath my ocean

and so am I, lost at sea.
