Parsival

I am lost in a sea with no horizon
The wind blows and pulls me in unknown directions
The gulls swoop and laugh
They know that I am lost
And I do not have their wings to fly
To where the sun sinks gently into the calm waters

I look to the heavens and wonder
I am but a tiny particle in this vast universe
I raise my arms to the sky and release my soul
Praying silently that it will be nurtured

I turn my back to the land
For I will seek my peace in the deep waters of the sea
I will slumber in the cradle of life
Gently rocked to sleep with the ebb and flow
I dream of Parsival
