The sun reflects a peaceful calm

On the waters surface

No wind to stir or create waves

For a moment Chaos pauses

In an instant there is peace

A clarity in the breeze

The promise of a time renewed

See what the captain sees

There is something about the water

There is healing in the deep

Where once I slipped into despair

Ive been Awakened from deep sleep

Let go of hurt and grief

Breathe in the air of promise

Grab tightly to new courses

In crises you are not a novice

Stay the course and mind the path

Be swift and watch the current

Don’t get caught up in the storm

this moment is inclement

You have the skills you have the drive

Just get a grip and take it

Free yourself and set sail

Your Life is what you make it
