Poseidon

If we could play, I'd play with you
Take it deep, take it down
Where it burns and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
By pounding beats, reciting psalms
Though gods be sleeping
Not yet deaf
Still busy dreaming, new worlds brewing, twisting strands, combining forces
A new continent connecting 
Shore approaches
But I sail on wary--landing's just too final--even though the sand's inviting
Poseidon breathes, the skies retreat, in solemn lines of cirrus 
Reckoning 
Surprised and shaken
Taken aback at such a fury
Holding tight to the distant
Steady bearing through the darkness
Hold that line!
Breathe in deeply now
Taste the salt, it's come to find you
Take it deep, take it down
Four winds caress you
Ever coaxing, teasing, pulling, knowing, never telling, pushing gently, disappearing 
Only for a heartbeat to remind you
Hold tight! 
The near distance even unseen
Still approaches. 
Hold that line, just hold that line
