it gets easy, to be lost at sea. go take a dive. go for a swim. stay focussed on spreading arms out wide as you pull yourself across the ocean, across the expanse of this body of water now enveloping thee. you breathe. you swim. you’re going forward towards where the sky touches the sea. swim. swim. and then -

you’re a single lone candle at sea.
-

lost but no one can see. strong for no one to be.
you’re inner turmoil, and outer calm;
your wax drips and you’re shrinking down
you’re all alone with but the stars
and the sea breeze blows not you out.

-

you shine,

continually:

a candle at sea_

emitting light, giving hope,
a makeshift lighthouse for sailors to be,
