Settling

my words a bitter tempest
                             (a dove in storm)
me pouring like god leaking from eyes raining
                             (not yours)
i lead you to worry


i speak pain and you could feel it
                              (a heart in storm)
me hurting like life recalling from you feeling
                              (set me free)
your own come creeping in


i don't mean to pour so much out
                              (a ship in storm)
love leaking like wine pouring from glass wasting
                              (my vintage)
with a few drops for us


but soon a ship sails the waters
                              (ride on through)
boat soaring like waters parting from hero leading
                              (calming seas)
the chosen people home


when all dust settles down
                              (a dove out of rain)
water clearing like fog parting from storm drifting
                              (sailor's fatigue)
i am at peace.
