Stormy Sea

I dreamed that we were drifting on a dark and stormy sea
All about were crashing waves surrounding you and me
There between the two of us we had just one life vest
The water tossed us all about upon the oceans crest

Clouds had blotted all the stars and blackness filled the night
Far off in the distance was a tiny speck of light
But soon we saw the stormy sea was taking us away
Farther from the tiny light and leading us astray

Seeing I was tired and without the will to fight
You turned to me and said “dear one it will be alright”
And off you swam toward the light and left the vest with me
You knew that you were more prepared to face the raging sea

But with the vest all to myself, I now could stay afloat
And soon I would be picked up by another passing boat
When the boat found harbor and my journey reached its end
I looked about and saw the smiling face of you, my friend

I asked you why you left me there upon a stormy sea
You held me tight, and softly, this is what you said to me
“I never had the slightest doubt that you would find your way
So I came on ahead to find a place for us to stay”
