The Furthest Shore |
| So long ago, I set out to sea, forsaken by god and man |
| Visions of passion, glory and gold beckoned from distant lands |
| I left behind all I had known, aspiring to live, love, and conquer |
| Unaware that these futile pursuits would only yield a drifting sepulchre |
| Desperate |
| I have traversed |
| The seas of |
| Sorrow |
| Aimlessly drifting for many a year, cursing this fated endeavor |
| Hopeless, I accept that the solace I’ve sought will elude me forever |
| Straining against the maelstrom unbound, my limbs frailed and broken |
| Splintered apart after storm upon storm, my heart and hopes have sunken |
| Desolate |
| I have succumb |
| To the seas of |
| Sorrow |
| Tortured memories of sailing and searching, finding and failing |
| Eroding the will to further resist the waves violent churning |
| Bereft of strength I’ve lost hold of the dream now sinking in sorrow |
| Falling helpless to the waters raging below |
| For a fleeting moment I clutched the debris of my vessel now flotsam |
| A futile attempt of an overcome man to fend off the ocean |
| I know it is hopeless when I see the approach of the conquering wave |
| That has come to carry me to my watery grave |
| Washed ashore, succumb to the sea |
| The waves force upward my lifeless eyes |
| To watch the sun set for the last time |
| Only in death, would peace be mine |
