Deep at Sea - Mia Doi Todd

I am deep at sea.

I made myself break free

Of the anchor keeping me Safe and sound in sanity,

Safe inside my old routine.

I am far from land.

I have left in my hand

A few grains of sand,

And I try to understand

The world in all it’s expanse.

Alone again, I hope to find

A greater kindness, peace of mind,

A faith, a joy in my core.

I leave my love on familiar shores.

I am deep at sea.

The waves roll over me.

Tossed among eternity,

I am as much as everything.

I am good for nothing.

Alone again, I hope to find

A greater kindness, peace of mind,

A faith, a joy in my core.

I head for some unknown shore.

I am deep at sea.

I am swimming.

I am free.

A great love envelops me.

I feel a part of something.

This life, it is for living.

The truth is growing stronger.

My youth is getting farther.

I am deep at sea.
