We are all at the mercy of the sea.

Softly I sing
My sailors song
It’s both happy and sad
Roaring and soft
Proud yet humble
Dashing yet shy
I sing it to the stars
That they might remember me
As more than a rogue
As more than a black sheep
The melody is mysterious
The rhythm is bleak
And the overall theme
Is what could have been
So sing with me fellow sailors
That it might ease our woes
That it might remind us
Of love lost and love found
Of the sweet taste of freedom
And the finer moments in life
Oh yes,
My sailors song
Could bring a tear to the eye
For the good and the bad
And remind us all
That we are at the mercy of the sea
Forever beholden
To the wind and the waves
That know no mercy
That care not for our souls
Sail on, sail strong
And never give in
To despair
To desperation
To despondency and doubt
Let my song guide you
To calm seas and dry land

Another nautical one that was fun to write. If I put my story to song, I’m confident it would make the listener happy and sad in equal measure.
I try to be the sort of person that helps people back from the metaphorical high seas and dramas in life.
At the end of the day, we are all at the mercy of the sea.
An excellent, poem/song, every word inspiring.
Thank you.
Love the picture.

Ever heard of “Sailorman’s Hymn” by Kamelot? This beautiful poem reminds me of this acoustic melody. Check it out sometime 🙂
