Heart's Journey

Serene is the tide at the sea at night
So calm and quiet just like my mind
With the moon that glows on its water surface
A picturesque of my heart, young and helpless.

Until one fine day, wind rushes as it blows
It came unexpected, strong rain falls
My mind seems so bothered as it starts to cruise
To now wavy ocean, full of courage and false hope.

This heart of mine started to navigate then
Along with the consequences of the tide might bring
Unaware of the sudden twist of my fate
On this endless journey, will I ever be saved?

Didn't even notice how it came to my knowledge
That I'm already drowning on this voyage
For these twilight days and stormy nights
Seem to lure my heart but I need to fight.

Too late before I'm about to persuade my mind
Not to dwell on this conquest of my life
For now my heart sways with the wind
Sailing in a far distance where I've never been.

Now that the dawn is here and darkness was gone
Why I've still seen my self from afar?
For I have to bid the shore with a sigh
Together with my farewell, a sad goodbye.
