Chapter 4: The Waters I Traveled

Vastness around me, waves and endless sea
Swim hastily, scared by unknown deeps …
Wake up …
The thing under me hides beneath my feet
A secret disease — is it fake or real?
Awake on a salving shore … The surges have ceased from me
It seems that a saving stream somehow has brought me here …
Feel someone is holding me … Wipes traces of wet away
And while all my fears dry out, it dawns on me: you’re here …
And here you calm me, safe me, guide me with your light
To wave the shadows, nightmares and my sweat aside …
You listen so patiently … To tales you don’t believe
And that’s why you’re so incredibly valuable to me …
Soak up my moaning, brave and brighten it up with your light
Endure my selfish, stories … right by my side, right by my side …
Light up the sea — little beacon, shine for me!
Define the stream that eventually leads me here!
Relume the deep — fill the ocean with your gleam, please, please …
Light up …
Wait and rest now, peacefully … take a breath now …
Still and silent, waveless sea … for a while not deep …
Calm and sound, in harmony — fade it out and leave …
Dim horizon, dormant wind — the storm is hiding … it hides from me …
Something is rising now … I start to feel it …
Still subtle but not so far away …
Below the surface of my life … but you taught me to face it …
You made me aware of my own line … little beacon, you’re my guide …
That’s why I care, why I feel, why you shine night and day
That’s why I’m gracious that your light chases my secret fear away …
Chase it away …
Rain above me — brave the stormy sea
Swim vigorously — stand the obscure deeps
The thing under me tries to grap my feet
Lights, finally … now I’m out of reach!
The moment I’ll wake up — forever I will stay
And the waters I traveled will be million miles away …
Miles away
