Rescue
Liahm Blank
I refuse to sink life's anchor
Near the shores of some tangible goal.
A feat beneath the passing feet
Leaves heavy hearts tired and dull.
Instead I'll set the unknown course
Of my fleet through fleeting flow.
On the waves of coral hope at last,
I'll help the shipwrecked row.
If I could stop the aching,
The breaking of a sea-torn heart,
If I could help just one lost sailor,
I would have done my part.
I'll spend my days a scavenger
Of the destitute on blackened beach.
I'll love and guide through receding tide
Whomever I may reach.
