If You Are

by

If you are the horizon,
compel me.

If you are the boat, 
carry me out to sea.

If you are the waves,
buoy my soul.

If you are the wind,
fill my sails.

If you are the North Star,
lead me home. 

If you are the lighthouse,
guide me to safety. 

If you are the storm,
                      capsize me.
