An Untamed Ocean

By Kat Walker

 

Only You can quench this fire inside,

please come and calm the force of the tide.

A storm is raging within my soul,

the waters swell out of control

 

I've cried an ocean full of tears,

swimming in sorrow, drowning in fear

I can't sail this ship by myself,

my strength is gone, there's nothing left.

 

Instead of a helping hand,

You've pushed me farther from land.

Instead of a wave goodbye,

You laughed as I sat there and cried.

 

I've built this vessel out of words and signs,

fashioned from Spirit, Bread and Wine.

Sailing me home through rhythm and rhyme,

a mystery revealed through the course of time.
