On The Water |
| I was on the water |
| When it began to heave |
| And at the fight |
| My words were strong |
| But I would not have imagined |
| That they’d stop making patterns |
| It’s caps of white |
| Raised and broke I fasten to the boat |
| The panic overtook |
| Me and the fear I held within |
| I drew a breath and |
| I tried to find the courage |
| To stand the troubled trip |
| What have I gotten myself into? |
| I silently wondered |
| I silently asked |
| I thought of my family |
| And thought of my love |
| I thought of my maker |
| And what might be above |
| And the cabin in the woods |
| That I have not yet built |
| Many other things that |
| I hold dear in this world |
| I rode through the turmoil |
| And rode through the strife |
| I held to my words and |
| I clumped to my life |
| And then when my |
| Vision began to blur |
| This is what I saw in |
| The thought that had occurred |
| I saw every fish |
| Swimming fast beside me |
| And all kinds of leafs |
| From all different trees |
| And all of the insects |
| That circle on the earth |
| Birds and land animals |
| Are reaching towards birth |
| And I saw my body on a body of water |
| And I could see that we were the same |
| Roaring and reckless, invulnerable |
| Emotion and swinging |
| And predisposed to changing |
| When I open my eyes vision respell |
| I picked up my oars |
| And I kissed the coldness |
| With stronger arms |
| I silently swear |
| I silently drifted |
| I silently wept |
