Arrested, Captured, and Released
I was arrested by your soothing sounds of the sea.
No need to roam, I felt at home in the arms of your liberty.
My sealed lips will have nothing more I wish to say.
But presently, with these eyes, I will look away.
From my heart, in tears, I will turn away.
With my two ears, without delay, I will tune out.
With certainty, my tangled mind will be tossed about;
Especially when I recall those faithful, nightly summer breezes.
I don't like goodbyes. no matter how hard I try, it's never easy.
I doubt that you will ever be one who binds and holds,
one who refuses to let go, unable to release. Rather, I
sense that it is I who need to release and set me free.
By you I was embraced and captured by your graciousness.
But now, wherever our trees have fallen, we must let them lay.
However, from the depths of my soul I say, I will weep away.
