When the moon is full but the night is
dark, when the wind is dry as your spirit has past.
In the vessel you lay in a quiet wooden box, but your mind travels to a place where it eventually stops.
Here you are greeted by an overwhelming
peace, and the demons within you fall quiet and cease.
You’re showed your life lived, along with
the mistakes, and explained the reason you wound up in this place.
You fall and feel the grass weave between your fingers, but there’s an uncertainty that hovers over you and lingers.
You stare down into the water and that’s
where you see me, standing over your body lying in a ship of Mahogany.
The mistakes you’ve made are forgiven and replaced, with determination and purpose to the life you’re again yet to face.
You’ve a chance to repossess the vessel you
left at rest, or to start again anew and hope for the best.
The earth where you lived had been rough
and unkind, but you’re unsure still of what you were put there to find.
You shared your love, blood and breath on
the way, only to remain lonely at the end of the day.
But I was always there, as much as I
physically and mentally could, until the day that I realized it would be me
surrounded by wood.
Little did I know that responding to these
alarms, would deprive me of the peace that I could only get in your arms.
The spell that you cast has never been
broken, despite all the hurtful words that were spoken.
So if you decide not to leave the man in
the box, you can come and find me when you’re no longer lost.
I’ll be here my darling until the very end
of your time, and your heart will be safe to forever beat within mine.
