Funny

I'll leave the meaning to you guys.

I watch from afar


As the ships descend into the light


Funny how they never notice the man


Sitting calmly, chin in his hand


I melt in his gaze


I feel like I’m in a haze


Is he what he was meant to be


Or were the ships taken by a fiend


Never gaze directly into his face


Or else you’ll vanish without a trace


I grip the chair because I think I know


The man makes sure to go


The ships come out the other side


Funny how they never stray from his mind


The ocean is such a wide road


Yet they all take the same path


The man grins as they all follow through


If only they all knew


Sitting lazy in a trance


The ships then proceed to dance

Do I laugh or do I cry?


I find myself asking why


I sit in my chair


I watch from afar


The ships keep on sailing by


One by one, they keep on coming in


The man is still there


Watching while he ponders


His eyes slowly become fixed on a sight


I smile from the delight


A ship has gone astray from his gaze


The man shall no longer put him in a haze


The ship sails away from the light filled place


Darkness should swallow it whole


Funny how darkness can be brighter than the light
