Hopeful Sea
Hopeful Sea
I have a friend
She seems withdrawn
Our wistful chat before the dawn
Reveals the truth
The news is grim
It isn't me she loves but him
The shroud of night
Reveals the day
And as my feelings drift away
My heart resists
The dawn's concession
Hopeful sea drowns night depression
Still gloomy truth
Like storms may shudder
With sails revoked, hold fast the rudder
Adventure wanes
As journey's folly
Dashed on rocks of melancholy
