Cradled by Waves, I Sleep

A metaphor for safety in love, this lover has found a foundation.

I am a crystal ship
with a delicate china heart.
I sail your seas, my Captain,
no fear of breaking apart.

Tis' sacred love I seek,
soft, easy; a gentle breeze.
Surrounded by your embrace,
tenderness will sustain me.

When storms of life
batter my vessel,
you are my foundation
anchored in faith.

Forever I will sail your seas,
travel smooth or turbulent waters.
Lulled by your sea song
the moon watches over me.

When I seek eternal rest,
I lay my head upon your hull.
You cradle me in gentle waves
I shall sleep well, my Captain, my love.
