Adrift
' Adrift ' by Mahira Amir Khan ( 2007 ) Fl o w with the currents Tempestuous, thrilling currents As I ride and soar through frosty waves And bear the searing attack of the deepest sea Tides whip and batter my bruised center And yet I learn... an Open Heart is my best Armour As I navigate these stormy waters Oh ! lash upon me Nature with Blatant Beauty I Dare you to unleash my Challenge ! Blue diamond waves and turquoise fish Do glitter dangerously and surreptitously wink You beautiful, treacherous beings invite me with your wiles My heart flutters while my head cautions But never will I Scorn That upon my birth, This deed I signed And to this Adventure I committed So bring it forth ! I bare my soul to its Astounding journey Living Life's Great Promise With a Lion's heart bolder than the wildest drift My head rises with the hint of a smile As I sail the Stirring Seven Seas.
