Berta Vieira

My soul travels on a boat
through the stormy sea
My mind envelopes thoughts of you and me.

I stand alone on a boat
on the stormy sea
I quiver as the waves cast their vengence on me.

I try desperately to stay afloat
hope I do not see
as I struggle through the stormy sea.

I travel alone on this boat
my future happiness I do not foresee
I shut my eyes until I am set free

We are one the sea and me.
