Stricken



From where does comfort come,
When hardship hits the weary,
Circumstance knows no bounds,
As tragedy strikes the young,
As weakness strikes the strong,
Without regards to age,
Without seeing beauty,
Without making sense.

There is no rhyme or reason,
As the sensible grow foolish,
In trying to make sense,
Of all that comes to pass,
When the reality of weakness,
Is knowing we can't choose,
In when we win or lose,
Just how we play the game.

For the one enduring truth,
Is souls do not pass,
As tethers tied of love,
Bind our souls together,
Making miracles of madness,
As we invest ourselves in others,
With clear vision of the heart,
Through the gift of time.

As time passes enduring,
Endure within the faith,
Knowing when you seem alone,
We are all close at hand,
Through the dark of night,
May the stars reminds your soul,
We watch over you with love,
As the light pours from our hearts.

On The Waters




The air is full of echoes,
Of yesterday’s song,
As I stand upon this pier,
These are the sounds I hear,
Before first seagull’s cry,
I angle my bow to the sea,
And let my sails to fly.

The bay is gently lapping,
Against wood pylons of time,
Holding my vessel to start,
My soul on journey of heart,
As men do not have wings,
Yet on these waters I soar,
Releasing my prayers to the sky,
Of pains and burden I bore.

My sails catch the breath of sky,
Upon the waters my heart will fly,
So much to see and more to do,
Love is my journey returning to you.

On my watch of silence,
My heart here finds such peace,
Beneath a silent star,
From lands now so far,
As the moon reflects on mirror,
Reflecting the light of my soul,
Sharing silent words on water,
I find myself made whole.

Setting young hand to the ropes,
I show my child to the sea,
My wife and heart beside,
Shared wonders building pride,
Here lies the open door,
And so other eyes see true,
I put wordless words to life,
So in seeking they find you.

My sails catch the breath of sky,
Upon the waters my heart will fly,
So much to see and more to do,
Love is my journey returning to you.

I sail now in my dreams,
As eyes have aged with time,
My heart still sees light true,
As light flows straight from you,
Through the darkest storms,
Horizon you were and are,
No fears could I feel,
You are my Guiding Star.

This final trip it seems,
To other watching eyes,
Such family here with me,
Who know the truth to be,
No journey ever ends,
My sails blow full with love,
You are the wind of life,
The Great and Gentle Dove.

My sails catch the breath of sky,
Upon the waters my heart will fly,
So much to see and more to do,
Love is my journey returning to you.
