BETWEEN SEA AND SKY

If I move forward,
there’s a chance it won’t work out,

there’s a risk I won’t succeed
or find another reason to try;
another dream to apply myself to,

somewhere between sea and sky am I,

waiting for a push,
waiting for a pull,

what am I waiting for,

some overseer of dreams to say now,
to say this is how,
to say I bless you with a sacred vow,

unless I test the fates
on my own,
I’ll never embrace
the promise that awaits
in the magical space
between sea and sky.
