“Always will be”
On a cruise ship, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, I came up from downstairs and Marcella was sleeping. I woke her up for a moment that we spoke only a few words. I told her that the ship was rocking and the waters were rough, but she said that she knew that. I told her I loved her, and she went back to sleep. A thought came to me, and I walked out onto the terrace. I was feeling the wind, and looking at the crescent moon. Then the words below came to me.
Always Will
The winds are howling.
The ship is rocking
Not the peace we had before
Foundation shifting
Yet the Moon softly lights
The dark night
The wild ocean
Like it did before
Like it always will
And you are with me
I feel you
Your breath
Your touch
Your peace
And you will be here
When all this calms
I know this
Because you were before
You always will be
The winds will subside
Skies will brighten
And we will walk in a glow
Hand in hand
Like we did before.
Like we always will
Always will
