Red-eyed dreamer
Dreaming of a ship named for you
Yet the captain at the helm
Steers where they like
And they like circles and circles
Do you:
Sit down and be sick
The waves tossing you to and fro
Or fight for control
But then it’s you captaining the ship
And what about the iceberg ahead?
Red-eyed dreamer
Wake up
All these battles you wage with yourself
Make tsunamis out of skipped rocks
That bounce once, twice, then sink
Deep breath, my love
The waves roll in more gently
Than you think
With Love,
Natalie
