It matters not

@uootem

I am a seeker... on the vast oceans of life,
still searching for something I somehow have always known,
and I must believe this beacon will guide my safe passage
in calm or stormy seas... it matters not.

just grant me enough wind to fill my sails
that I may return to distant shore someday
for there's no other place I would rather be
than amidst the things and times I cherish still.

the horizon at sunset gives a melancholy feeling
like being pulled down by the water... the sun and I
as a gentle breeze plays the water like a violin
nightfall is here!... but the music will never stop.
i love this symphony heard softly in the distance...
a voice... a whisper... a memory
reminding me things I cannot yet return to
but have kept safe within me all my life... and more.

for now, i keep sailing along into the middle of somewhere
or perhaps nowhere... it matters not
for there is a different place from where I am
and it is where love was... and is... and will.

then the crashing sound of waves to shore are heard
in a haunting silence waiting for dawn... and a bright new future
to go on another sailing excursion to the middle of somewhere
but I know I will always return to this place... I must
for if Neptune grants me enough wind to fill my sails
I may see a once familiar shore again someday
for there's no other place I would rather be
than amidst the things and times I cherish still.

I have seen the light and sound through the mist
from that lighthouse that will someday guide me home
to shores where footprints still dot the sands of time
so wherever this current journey leads... it matters not.
