My Waters

If one passing moment predestined a life time
I will float in the waves of the basking sun
letting its warmth embrace me like a blanket of a newborn.
I will Serenade the birds of life who choose to fly above
while shunning the bottom of the unseen deepness.
I will allow my waters to flood over me in this moment
as too see if my future is on way to the meanings I bind.
Leave me a drift in to what awaits me with every new day I arise too
even as I hold on to the oars that guide me through my waters.
I will Cast away beyond what is not visible.
For I know my Island could soon be approaching
possessing a life that has been indefinite to me.
The warmth of the sun has now turned in to strays of moonlight
and the sky has become overflowed with a million stars that all have been professed by a strangers wish.
It is quiet in my waters, calm
with only the echo's of the hastening waves that mask the depths I may sink in with no despair.
My direction is unknown to me, as my compass has been overpowered
through the authority of my waters.
But I will ascend with my waves to where ever they may lead me
keeping a listless unanchored heart and an untied mind
claiming my promises as they are tendered on to me.
I will be unrestrained in my waters of inquisitiveness and wonder.
