Out on the Emergence Sea
so many days of sailing
prevailing winds and storms
set a course for me
I found my way to this place
so long ago
amid the wreckage and ghosts
of the mighty
I saw a man upon the shore
and I wondered what calamity
had left him broken on the sand
that is the way of the sea
many lost and lonely victims
emerging from the waters
why so many losses?
no longer to see or sing or feel or be
I help those I can
but there are no easy answers
and my hands tire very quickly
Upon the Emergence Sea
the waves are tall and the currents
so strong, it is often beyond your ability
to navigate the titanic forces
that push and pull catastrophe
towards you and me
we can only hope
for survival
and renewal, but the melancholy
eats away at vitality
and it becomes easy to curse God
and all of the outside forces
that have brought this ruin to be
there is always another emergency
upon this timeless beach
rushing from one hapless person to another
attempting to provide sustenance and succor
for another victim
upon the Emergence Sea
we can only set our prow to the sun
and hope for calmer waters
and look for new lands to see
but I know without knowing much
that there will always be another
hand to hold
in need.
We must all do what we can
for each other
