Dark Blue Sea

Drawing blanks, feeling empty, oh mind you are turmultuous sea of raging winds and dark blue depths.
I sail on a ship of thoughts and hope, patching holes with prayer.
Lingering dreams just out of reach, I am pulled and dragged out to sea. I see the lights off on distant shores as I stand and wave my hands.
Light touch me, light reach me, light reach out and pull me from this dark black sea.
Fleeting warmth, fleeting light touches the edge of the swelling sea.
Still I drift, still I pray, still I am pulled away by the sea of doubt, still I drift alone out in the dark blue sea. The sea sprays my eyes with tears of grief, loss and longing, and I pray, patching yet another hole in this ship adrift in this deep dark sea.
Above the roar of the storm in my head I smile as a ship sails close by filled with laughter and glee.
A song breaks through the wind "I am friend I will always be here"
"I will remember when you forget, I will lift you up from the sea"
"I will reach out with arms so strong, with words of hope, and shine a light on you in the dark"
"I am friend I will always be here"

Thank you my friend thank you for lifting me up, and remembering me when I forget who I am.

No matter what course we sail, or where it takes us, we've always managed to remain friends in the truest sense of the word...my hand will always be there for you, as yours is for me...

Luv ya
You don't need to disect a thing. The piece is beautiful. I enjoyed reading it again. Now it's time for me to thank you, my friend, for lifting me up. I appreciate your friendship more than you may know.

You and I have sailed so many stormy seas together. We've become quite the accomplished sailors haven't we.

Thank you, my friend.

Peace and blessings.

Thanks dear friend, sometimes life throws you into that deep dark, and the words just come and must be allowed to live in whatever form they choose to take. Course the editor in me wants to dissect every line...but I resist and just hit POST!

Don't know how I missed your comment, so sry but I didn't see it till I was reviewing my older Blogs. Yes that is a picture I took of Tabi....you know your adopted niece very well LOL :-x
Wow! Great piece! Your use of symbolism and metaphor brought this piece to life. I'm so happy to see you getting back into the depths of your creativity. And what a way to start--with a beautiful tribute to friendship.

And . . . that picture has a familiar feel to it. Could that be beautiful Ms. Tabi? The picture, the words, everything fits together perfectly. I'll bet no one on this site knows what a wonderfully gifted photographer you are. Secrets out now, my dear friend.

Peace, blessings, and much love.
