Angel of the Sea

Overboard
My lungs slowly fill with inky weight
Hold it still
My arms wrap the id with loving care

A night wretched up rogue wave pulls
The deck swells with sodden delight
A white knuckle cracks and bleeds
To the dance of the albatross flight

Will I see you
Hold me up waiting
For the right moment
Just like an angel of the sea... for me

Undertow
Dragged through the silt of yesterday
Release control
My hands search for purchase to pray

A wade through my memory's mire
Draws up a briny mix
A cold comfort slices in
Twists the blade and the albatross sinks

Will I see you
Hold me up waiting
For the right moment
Just like an angel of the sea... for me

Washed ashore
Forgotten like an old rag doll
Battered and sore
I pull myself up to my feet

The last line a sandy grit
I'm cleansed by the sunrise glance
I narrow my eyes and breathe
To the flight of the albatross dance

Will I see you
Hold me up waiting
For the right moment
Just like an angel of the sea... for me
