Tell the thousand

Years of storms

Which lash

My skin

Their lesson has

Been absorbed

The risk of

Living present

In the everyday

And the concerns

Seldom shared

But when

I am weak

I come to you with

The same hunger

As when I am strong

The same steps

But a different

Song

And I say how I feel

Without shame

But some part of me

Knows the value of

Endurance

This bitter ocean

Demands a steady hand

And there you stand

Calling my name

And I know

In your eyes

I am

Home

Kiss the salt from

My lips
