Tempest Tossed

Faith in tribulation.

Inside those half-dreaming lids
where man attempts to find some kinship
and wakes, eyes wide!
There lies a common thread that binds us all together
and will never be broken.

Though trials and circumstance afflict us sorely,
Still is the Captain in command.
I lie, a storm-cursed sailor
tired of dreams…
But waiting in the guts of me
to see dry land.
