 At Sea

On my wall in my workout room is a painting of a mighty sailing ship of yore.
As my soul enters this painting, I can feel the sea breeze blowing in my face.
Time spent at sea always helps me become aware of the timeless present,
As the eerie quiet of just the sounds of the sea and the ship gently tickle my ear.
No matter how rough the weather gets, there is always a sense of peace in my heart;
The wind is in the sails, as the ship cuts a path through the waves.

I'm at sea… peace within my soul… I'm at sea.

I am not thinking of the distant shores from which I sailed so many days ago;
This past is now gone washed away by the mist of the freshness of the now.
Likewise, I am not looking forward to my destination, the port that is my future;
Where my new life begins separated from my past by the vastness of this deep.
While at sea, time is suspended dangling silently between the past and the future;
There is only the wind, the mist, the solitude,  and this eternal present moment.

I'm at sea…peace within my soul… I'm at sea.
