Call of the Sea - Kara Engelken

Call of the Sea

I’m closing the chapter in my book,
Life, I say good-bye to and step away.
Leaves change and so does my heart.
There is nothing left for me to stay.
A new dawn breaks within my soul,
An estranged awakening that I see.
Beams clear thoughts and fade the dark,
Longing for something I have never seen.
The yearning has been too long ignored,
No longer will I pretend not to see.
As sailors long for the ocean’s waves;
So away, too, my new world beacons me.
Embracing the adventure of my dream.
Away from the prairie; away to the sea.
