Drifting

I feel as if I am drifting on an open sea
Emptiness and longing overwhelm me
I shade my eyes to the sun as it burns my skin
Not knowing where i am going or where it is I have been.

I close my eyes to the pain inside
Still it shows the tears I cannot hide
The waves of loneliness reach in and take control
No direction in sight, the future unknown.

I keep on drifting, from day to day
Waiting for that one last wave,
To come along and sweep me off my feet
Moreover, wash away my pain in waters dark and deep.

I know the winds of love will blow one day
In addition, take me to that place far away
That place where my love waits for me,
Waits for me to stop drifting on the open sea.

The morning light will bring me closer to land
Where my love waits to take my hand
Never again to drift, all my pain will cease
Forever in his arms I will drift in sweet peace

Joyce James
