Watermark - Sleeping At Last
You were carved out of the sea
Watermarked by your ancestry
In a tug of war
Between the tide and me
What felt like loss was a victory
'Cause you were swept
Ashore like bottles holding prayers
You were carved out of the earth
Safe and sound in your second birth
Gravity has tied
Your ankle to the shore
As a lighthouse tamed
The endless ocean war
Against the calming light our
Silhouettes are changing shape
The stories you've been told
Have made you brave
Such inheritance was formed
Within the sand
Like the shells you gather
In the safety of your hands
Dive in with your eyes closed
For the life you were born to claim
And the water will be paralyzed
By the courage you contain
And the flutter of your earnest heart
It will fill the silent seas
And all will be restored
In your memory
