Hold Steady Heart

Weekly Writing Prompt: Sea Legs
1
Howdy folks! With a prompt like Sea Legs, I am amazed that this didn't end up a pirate sea shanty this week!  

I got to thinking about earning/learning one's sea legs and how to avoid sea sickness you are told to keep your eyes on the horizon, which seemed like a good place to start. Solid advice for many things these days. 

Thanks as always for comin' along. ❤️

Hold Steady Heart 
I keep my eyes on the horizon
With a hold steady heart
I keep my eyes on the horizon
Just a hold steady heart

In this world of violence
I hold a steady heart
In a world void of silence
I hold a steady heart

And I don’t want to feel this way with you love
My sea legs
Sea legs
I don’t want to feel this way with you love
My sea legs
My sea legs
Are longin’ for solid ground

There’s some things I’ve come to understand
Some are less than profound
Good deeds don’t always go as planned
Summer feet on frozen ground
Sinking toes into quicksand
Treading water to drown out the sound
I can’t focus on the problem at hand
Chasing ghosts underground
