The Stormy Seas

Donna Cavanagh
Sometimes a heart is tossed about
A turbulent sea controlling its fate
Riding waves of emotions from crest to bottom
Hoping uncertainty and fear will someday abate

When we give our heart completely
When that dream becomes our own
We put ourselves in precarious waters
We set ourselves adrift into seas unknown

We wonder what possessed our souls
To leave predictability behind
To embrace risk and stand against fear
Hoping to quell the storms brewing in our minds

Our hearts will certainly be battered
Our courage will be tested and at times it will fail
But our hopes will survive the roughest seas
And in the end our dreams will find a way to prevail
