Poetry

Solitary King

In times like these I seem to feel it allFrom the highest mountain to the deepest fallAnd here I always feel like I’m aloneA solitary king upon my throne

Watching all my kingdom from afarAnd gazing at the smallest distant starTo find the thing it surely must be forWaiting for me on that distant shore

Across the sea but closer than I knowWaiting for that guiding wind to blowTo push the sails with overwhelming forceAlong the line of predetermined course

From lonely moon to sanctifying sunFrom disconnected to becoming oneFrom just a single raindrop to the seaFrom capture to the final setting free

I feel it all
