Mariana

 Lo! Claim an hour, just for you
Desist from your dejected crew
Submit to the pyre: Be true!
Emotions, overflowing dew.

Belay from troubled waters deep
Whence confidence, its boast doth keep
Up the peaks of Mariana, steep
All that matters, allow to seep.

Astride the darkness of your day
Your emotions leading the way
Take but a moment, and just Be!
Away from the roll of the sea.

What truly matters, which you seek
Wrench away from the world, burned meek
Become the pyre, and be free
Your soul, afire, within thee.
