SEA OF STRANGERS

In a sea of strangers,

     you've longed to know me.

     your life spent sailing

     to my shores.

The arms that yearn

     to someday hold me,

     will ache beneath

     the heavy oars.

Please take your time

     and take it slowly;

     as all you do

     will run its course.

And nothing else

     can take what only-

     was always meant

     as solely yours.
