Drifting

there is a ship
that rocks on foam
drifting in darkness
lost in it’s way
disoriented I plea
to shine me home
as the wind strips
my sails to fray

I yield beneath
the black velvet curtain
great northern star
where should I go
for only in your direction
am I certain
unblind these eyes
as you show

salted spray
floods my eyes
fear is my newest
best friend
an angry ocean
silences my cries
pulled by a storm
that just won’t end

I scream for grace
from sky and sea
a squall to return
back to calm
release this force
that rages me
northern star I rest my path
in your palm

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare

very sad in depth, very poignant
