Sailing

Two ships sailing across the sea.
I met you and you met me.

On we sailed swapping tales.
Admiring one another's sails.

Enjoying the sun
having  fun.

We learned to trust and love
A legacy one could be proud of.

But then the skies turned grey
And the sun shine went away.

The waves rose and crashed
The wind howled and lashed.

I struggled, fought and wept,
as wave after wave over me swept.

It was not your storm
my loss was not yours to mourn

For a bit you seemed to try
but was it all just a lie?

Eventually you changed your course
And added to the hurricanes force.

Through the waves I tried to follow,
but this was more than I could swallow.

I tried to understand and reason,
I willed this not to be treason.

But away you left without a glance.
Thunder crashed marking our last dance.

Through the wind and blinding pain
I mourned our friendship, slain.

However onward I must sail.
I must continue through this gale.

I will not go down
I will be found.

I will not succumb
another ship will come.

One who will enjoy the sun
We will also have fun

One who weathers the storm
no matter the massive form.

A man who wants to be there
no matter how the wind fares.

And if not,
if this not my lot.

I will yet sail.
I refuse to bail.

There is always my Friend
His hand is there to mend.

He will heal
and direct my keel.

So, adieu my friend,

it was worth it in the end.
