A Sailor's Promise

Shadows cast down from the

mast's skeleton

furled up tight

Scattered

in the darkness

but I've seen the light

*

Between the illusions

of the familiar

lightning strikes

*

Before my feet

the sword of truth

sparks the night

Gleaming silver stone

strikes thrice

Silver tongues sliced

*

Intuition singing

what was once whispered before

An angel's symphony in the moonlight

I can no longer ignore

the truth before my eyes

*

I will dissolve the walls

that divide

The ones built

to save us from expired agony

The ones built

to keep us safe from new delights

*

Unchain the anchor from the harbor

Unveil the sails bound to the mast

Set sail tonight

*

Use this ship for what it's made for

Make headway into the unknown

Venture into the ocean's mysterious might

The stars are your guide

*

Uncover the treasures of experience

Spread smiles far and wide

Dancing with the moon

as it glows from the fire
