“Above Water”
completed on 9.19.24

like a kite
I feel you lift me
but when you’re breeze fades
i come crashing down

sometimes into a tree
where i can cut myself free
sometimes to the ground
where i can be found

but now i’m sinking underwater
swimming back to you for air
i watch every bubble float away
like moments that can’t ever repeat

waves crashing over me
sinking deeper into the sea
but you’re my life raft
always saving me like witchcraft

like a fish out of water
i’m fighting for air
but you pick me up
saving me time and again

sometimes i’m drowning
but you remind me everything’s ok
your light shines through the darkness
helping me find home

everything’s brighter with you
nothing’s ever felt so true

“I Will Get Back To You”
written on 3.30.17

and you got swept away
didn’t know what to do or say
but now i’ve found my oars
to finally set sail back to the shores

this will be quite the journey
not something i can do alone
but this time i’ve found the one
who can help me get it done
she’s the wind feeding my sails

i still have cracks throughout my hull
the result of all my grieving
but this time i’m not sinking
i’ve found the hope in my thinking

you built the compass inside me
taught me how to navigate the sea
you gave me the strength to chart the course
through all life’s storms and force
no waves to keep me from feeling free

and i know where you are headed
’cause you believed fearlessly
i’ll ride the waves through all life’s struggles
leaving behind all my troubles
