THE VOYAGE

THE VOYAGE

An endless ocean lies ahead,

pitch black and dark;

Silence of the terror that awaits me

echoes through the hallway of my craft;

sea is still and calm,

unwilling to show its true self,

shadows lie and mirrors betray;

but the voyage will commence

tearing the horizon with unforgiving might;

voyage into the unknown is what

deters even the fiercest of seafarers;

life has many facets,

some choose to perish in the sea like me;

but those who conquer the high seas

will be immortalized by the generations to come

but those who succumb to the ocean’s might,

will remain unknown like the dust in the ocean’s floor

untouched by the rays of hope that graze the ocean surface.

As I stand gazing the moonless night

South wind begins to blow

And I order to unwrap the sail.

Moving forward is my only choice.
