A Maiden(s) Voyage

By Brittany JeanPublished 4 years ago 1 min read
West Virginia.

The “unsinkable ship,” they called her.

A wonder, a journey, a new beginning.

Twenty two hundred people, off to start a new life.

So secure in the fact that “not even god could sink her.”

Dreams, Destinations, Desolation

She remembers the Fifteen hundred souls

Whose journey ended in the North Atlantic

Cold, Crisp, Crystals

Hypnotized by the ripples in her drink.

One by one, mini icebergs are submerging, and sink

She looks up into her own eyes.

Reflecting both her figure, and figures before.

Slipping under like glaciers in her glass.

She takes a deep breath

Submerging herself into her own depths

One final glimpse of the mirage before her.

She disappears into her own oblivion

This maiden sets sail on her own voyage.
