Across The Water

She navigates on a stormy sea, Of love washed waters, The howling wind shouts out about her loss, Her ex-lover the man she called the boss, He held her so tight when her demons didn't give a toss, Ravishing her mind with their darkness, Of foes plotting against her, Stealing her happiness with their smug smiles, She sails across the sea for many miles, Through the strewn killer rocks, Then the boss mocked For her self absorbtion with her door always locked, Her foes ready to strike as she sows, With her focus to succeed, To reach her goal, The sea is her strength as she watches a great shoal, A dolphin befriends her with a smile on his face, Flashing dark eyes, Playful fun with the rising sun, The boss left her because of her illness, The dolphin returns her soul to lightness, Of her childhood, To feel the freedom The riveting strength of her only chum, The wildness of her untamed heart, With the constant tragedy of her illness, Trying to play her part, Then the darkness destroys her lightness, She is searching for an island in this sea of greatness, A sanctuary of hope to bring the brightness, For her again to feel sure, To light her way across the water.
