The sea: an adventure failed

an exploration to the waters, from the mountains to the seas.

Adventured up to a huge mountain with green,

And freshness, but the clouds seemed mean.

Round glass-like drops on the leaves falling,

Like little cascades from height, the green heads forestalling.

        

Distant was only sea around, blue and

Salty. This mission was going all planned

Till we had hit the saline sea,

We got lost in, it was a bad idea, agreed.

 

The blue streams seemed whimsical, but it

Was dangerous a lot, and we wanted to quit.

But we strived and sailed, for it had

Been two days, but there is some light for which I’m still glad.

 

Glided by the water pressure and will to live, I

Guided by, and I reached the land on high.

It was an old lighthouse, no traces

Of people living recently here, no people ,no faces.

 

After what felt like an eternity, I found

A yacht came by, and saved us from the profound.

I’m still thankful to the one who saved us, the clouds

Really put sun under enshrouds.

Author's Note

I love the starting paragraphs so much

Your poem moves erratically as if a ship braving mad weather.. here to there and off sail.

'Glided by the water pressure and will to live, I
Guided by, and I reached the land on high.
It was an old lighthouse, no traces'
Of people living recently here, no people ,no faces.'

The above quote could well turn into a short story OR a longer poem.

[Dave Brown]

it is a huge expanse, the sea
without a compass, the perfect place to get lost
British Columbia is advertising for lighthouse keepers if you were so inclined!!

A daring adventure, poet.
A story wrapped in a poem. Thank you for the share.
