Waves May Crash
The fog settled deep within his chest,
A quiet theft that stole his needed rest.
His hands were shaking, his grip slipping loose,
He felt the tightening of time’s cruel noose.
He searched for solid ground to plant his feet,
A way to make his broken edges meet.
He wanted more than just to breath and be,
He craved the strength to stand beside the sea.
He started small, one step, one stone,
He found he mattered when not alone.
Lifting heavy weights, pulling weeds away,
He built a life where he meant to stay.
The storm came in, rattling at his door,
But he was not the ghost he was before.
His candle flickered, his flame held tight,
His power lit up the darkness of night.
The waves may crash, the tides rise and fall,
He stands safe and strong, upon a sturdy sea wall.
