Like the Sea

 

To the gentle heart, have courage.

Through trials and chaos of the ever changing wind-

Let your heart be like a river ,

Ever guided, ever flowing.

To the fragile heart, have courage.

Through starless and blackened nights

That cover us-

Let your heart be like the sun,

Ever alive, ever aflame.

To the lonely heart, have courage.

Through the solitude and the solemn

That envelope our being-

Let your heart be like the moon ,

Alone but alight, with beauty that prevails.

To the broken heart, have courage.

Through the pieces of edged glass that bludgeon our soles-

Let your heart be like the sea,

Ever open, ever brave, ever free.
