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.
