Distant Seas

Distant Seas

As winds dance violently with my hair – I

catch my mind wandering far and near – miss

take my thoughts away from me – my

country my soul desires to be – home

Again, my mother’s arms embracing – my

Eyes full of tears, my heart racing – heart

Which I feel flooding with great seas – breaks

At the thought of distant memories – with

Only time by my side – longing

For the end of this tide.
