The Calling

In years gone by, far to the north,
    I heard a voice from the sea
Soothing and stirring my heart it whispered,
    “You can stay here with me”
Yet caught in a dream I turned away,
    To seek life long and free
 
Many months after I ventured south,
   I heard the voice from the sea
Baffling and battering my mind it beckoned,
    “Time to come back to me”
Still lost in my vision I kept to the path,
    To seek life long and free
 
A year crept past as I wandered east,
    And still the voice from the sea
Tested and twisted my will as it pleaded,
    “Please, return to me”
But steeling myself I carried on forth,
    To seek life long and free
 
The years ran by as I roamed the west,
    Oh! How that voice from the sea
Ripped and rended my soul as it begged,
    “Please, please come back to me”
Blind to my senses I stumbled ahead,
    To seek life long and free
 
Many lives later, I write here to say,
    I’ve lost that voice from the sea
Like vanishing foam in the azure waves,
    It released my life to me
Yet I still lament the calling I lost,
    In seeking life long and free
