Feeble vessel carries me away
Across sullen waters – waves of memory
Mist of remembrance
Towards a new world
To wander endlessly
Upon these stranger shores
Walking among the water-worn stones
Behold all that lay before you
This weary oaken one
Seeking solace
Amidst the halcyon streams
Of this unknown land
Deluge of guilt and shame
Roots too intertwined
Bonds destined to break
I go my own way
Alone I walk this road
Endless trails and paths
Thusly I come
Faltered upon waves
Vessel worn to dust
Past now washed away
Future before me
There’s only one way
That time will flow
I walk upon these Stranger Shores
