Ode to a Wandering Woman

This is my home

This is my home

Out on the water

This is my home

The breath of the sea

This is my home

For all warrior daughters

This is my home

Where the waves taketh me

I cannot sit idly on the shore

And watch those fierce battles rage

I have lost much and will not lose more

Now is my time to crusade

This is my home

Out on the water

This is my home

The breath of the sea

This is my home

For all warrior daughters

This is my home

Where the waves taketh me

I raise my sails and push away

Waves crashing and falling like rain

Wetting my face, rinsing my tears

Charging my eternal pain

This is my home

Out on the water

This is my home

The breath of the sea

This is my home

For all warrior daughters

This is my home

Where the waves taketh me

I shall tear apart their ships

Send them to eternal sleep

Destroy their lives as they did mine

Cursing my love to the ocean deep

This is my home

Out on the water

This is my home

The breath of the sea

This is my home

For all warrior daughters

This is my home

Where the waves taketh me

The fight is over, now silence

The blast of victory is mine

Never to leave these waters

All I have left is time

Forever my home

This open water

Forever my home

I am the sea’s reckless daughter

My sister says I'm haunted. Guess that's why they say "Write what you know". If I have to deal with it, dear reader, then so do you. I throw in the occasional sweet story, just for a palette cleanser...enjoy!
