Serenaded by Sirens
Another Seafaring Mystery
Fleshed flotsam cast asunder
by an unforgiving sea,
never known
for having shown
beleaguered sailors mercy.
From the Devil’s Triangle
to Niflheim, north of Thule
cardinal directions
stripped of their authority.
Tides turn
in a manner most unkind
A transient horizon line
ever ahead, never behind.
A gravity from which I can't break free
Syrens serenading me
to the pinnacle of
Challenger Deep's profundity.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
