the sun directs the turbulence
under a crimson spotlight
waters of obscure sorrows
shadow the lonely trying to
drown their dark thoughts
praying for forgiveness
screaming in anguish
confessions and regret
swim against the tide with
sincere repentence
gentle waves of comfort
the ocean remembers
mourning breaks over
waters of obscure sorrows
