Shalom

A sea of yearnings 
churn within me
I feel the waves splashing
torrents of restlessness.

Imbibed deep 
within my soul
is a warrior struggling
to swim against the tides.

In my quest to obtain
what I fathom not now
an unknown something
draws me nearer.

I sweat and toil
the grith of my existence
while a vermilion sunset
flows through my veins.
