Sail Home

Sarah Rayan 1982 (Kuwait City)

No one loves you at the bottom and I've seen the ocean floor, I've been swimming long enough to know how much I need the shore

Vessels navigate the waters, only guided by the light, of the one I must forget, as I sail home tonight, to open arms, holding me so tight

The wolves may always howl, until you set me free, to join my people; sail home, where I must be; and let go forever, of the diva of the sea
