As I walk into this tumultuous sea
Large waves surround me
Knocking me off my feet
I'm drowning in a sea of pain
as waves crush my chest
I surface and gasp for air
only to be knocked down again
panic and confusion fill my mind
Will I ever survive?
If I surrender to the sea
will I find peace away from pain?
But the sea is not my master!
I choose to fight on!
Thrashing through the waves
courage fills my being
I must go on, there is no other way.
My strength renewed,
I battle the waves of despair
and make for the shore.
This sea is ever changing,
pounding at the heart relentlessly
then - calm and restful
but never - still.
I turn and look around me
and in this sea of sorrow
other's are being torn apart by the waves
I call to them.
They see that I too
have been battered by the sea
but am now heading for calmer waters
So it is in this sea of grief
