Alone

I am alone in a vast ocean

Lost in my devotion

Unable to see the shore

I want to know more

Miles of ocean below

Miles of blue sky’s above

Not a cloud in sight

I am as still as the night

Not a soul in sight

I must be off the site

To sit in this ocean all alone

To contemplate my thoughts-is all I own

I feel a set of eyes gaze upon me

This can not be I am alone out at sea

The wind picks up and I start to move

My situation starts to improve

I move back and forth for miles it seems

I fall into a trance and start to dream

I see an island off in the distance

I must be having a hallucination

To have been lost for so long

And stumble across where I belong

This must be a dream

I have to be sleeping

This cannot be reality

I must have lost my mentality

I was never lost at sea

I was searching for a higher degree

I was never lost

You where always around

From birth you watch from afar

Waiting for the right time to call

I come with out notice to what has been done

But you had know all along

I was never alone
