Harbour

Sometimes I'm the harbour and you you are the sea United by the water that flows through you and me The motion of the water is quiet it is calm But there's an undertow that pulls me in into your storm Sometimes you're the harbour and then I am the sea Divided by breakwaters shielding you from me We're the same deep water; so clear yet so dark With a tendency to drift apart when we embark Sometimes you are the ocean when I'm adrift at sea The waves' ebb and flow is all but carrying me The current leads me further into the great unknown But there's comfort in the cadency the ocean shows Sometimes I am the ocean and then you are the ship Setting out to sea on your maiden-trip The water brings a stillness the calm you've known before You know what is out there, it's the calm before the storm There's a fleet of good intentions at the bottom of the sea The waves may try to hide it but it's still too clear to see God knows I tried to be better to sail a different course But the current was much stronger forcing me without remorse
