Sailing for Satisfaction
Nacreous waters leave me mundivagant
Sailing until I find something tangible
It's been so long oh lord,
I brivet for something to satisfy
Just to satisfy
I've felt I've never been there at the right time,
The best time,
Never giving me a chance to truly show myself,
But still, I venture into the harsh hinterland
Just trying to find something to satisfy
Never given the break perhaps I have deserved
As selfish as that may seem
And I know that I find it hard for me to keep still,
And do something right
But maybe it's the right time for me to be told,
I'm not wrong
Moondaze never seems to fall short of its day,
Mondays in a daze, bleeding into Tuesdays
Is it because of all the years
When I had only begun to sing,
It was a life that was only gleed
I have this powerful desire,
Somethings gonna come,
And sometimes I forget I need to hold back until then
For those who surround me,
Things and possessions,
I must not neglect what I have,
For what will come
But the vast oceans fresh air reeks of undetermined waters,
I know the wave peaks high, and the currents run strong
But despite the fact I will sail until I find the cure,
It's been oh so long my lord
I brivet for something to satisfy
Just to satisfy

This is not my artwork, but a 17th-century painting by Rembrandt titled "Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee." A beautiful piece that I feel encapsulates the desire for destination I feel and is part of the inspiration for this poem.
