sinking ships

This sinking ship 

Has found a home 

Beneath the waves 

Where once he roamed 

Watching others just pass on by 

He may be sunk 

But has not died 

As he looks beyond the surf 

He sees the glory of this earth 

And all that it is 

All the hope that it gives 

One must wonder 

What lonely ships do 

When on the bottom 

Battered and bruised 

He just smiles 

Looking all around 

He has no walls 

No course to plot 

No engine stalls 

He is free 

Some say 

That ships just wreck

But it is at these depths

Where there alive
