Journey

🌊🌊🌊

〰1〰

🌊🌊🌊

Waves,

Rolling, and splashing, and clashing,

Playfully throwing foamy curls

Against the rocking ship.

Winds,

Carrying us toward the new lands,

And sites unexplored,

And wondrous finds to keep.

Stars,

With myriad sparkles of heroes souls,

Piercing the darkness above us all,

Peeking on us from its deep.

Days,

Spinning under Helios wheel,

And Selene moonlight silverish still,

Nearing the end of our trip.

Fog,

Dense and sick crawled in one day,

I gave command to never sway,

To run the vessel fast and strong

To Golgi shores we missed so long!

Another day, another night,

Or maybe more we see no light.

Despair, crippling the mood

As sailors fail set their foot.

Mist,

Penetrating all within,

As patience grows really thin,

We're steering left, we're steering right,

With no sun, or land in site.

A beacon?

Look, is that a dream?

Through fog,

As touch of warmth it seemed!

A song,

A whisper,

Nothing much,

But through your very heart will touch.

A call, a word,

Hey, can you hear?

You too? And you?

On voice we steer!

We all felt calm,

Despite the odds,

And calming peace

Ceased our thoughts.

A song, a whisper,

Through the soul,

Would fill with hope,

Would make you whole -

“Jump,

Simply jump,

Swim to the shore,

Accept your fate for what its for.”

And jump they did,

One, two,

Five, ten,

Into alluring darkness den.

My ship, my life,

The proud sail.

Temptation’s call so hard to bail,

But I press on, I must prevail!

Eyes,

Lusting, calling, poisonous,

The searing heat of unyielding desire,

Surrender I must to your merciless fire.

Oh mystery,

Lulling, melodic, so blinding,

Reveal yourself now,

Emerge from your hiding!

Your beauty,

So fine, so gentle, so delicate,

Oh fantasy of the night,

Your touch is angelical.

Guide me,

To places where stars are alive,

Their ghostly tails striking through skies,

Take me to depths I feared to pry!

Crash,

Jolting my core, thunderous, rumbling.

The rocks sharp like razors tearing,

The ship is crumbling.

Vision,

Cleared suddenly, momentarily,

Time froze slowing to a still - veil lifted.

All illusions had finally shifted.

Ships,

Abandoned, broken framed her lair.

Her lethal song left no spare.

Her gift is death to all who dared.

Darkness

Has fallen with waters embrace,

Oh Mighty Poseidon,

I beg for your grace!

Oh brave Patrocles, story such

Was never heard among your glories,

And do you know who that was,

That queen of death, and loss and worry?

Yes, dear boy - for ages since

I hid that tale deep within,

For that was promise I had made,

That she had sealed in my fate.

The Seir�"n, nymph of open seas,

Whose dark embrace you find so thrilling,

All reasons lost, your heart is willing

To walk you into deadly nest.

Days

Running down, count spinning,

My word I kept, but ever since

Her eyes alone I see when dreaming.

Its getting late, my dear boy,

I am sure one day you learn the joy

Of open seas, and ships so strong

To be remembered in a song!

But wait,

Before you run away,

Do tell your name!

- I am Odyssey.
