A vast ocean of possibilities await
When the time comes to raise anchor
Decisions are not made by happenstance
But by the need to test the hand of fate
Not of any Admirals Naval campaign
More likely to sail under skull and bones
Take only what I need, but take nonetheless
Leaving behind no trace and no bloody stain
What’s yours is yours, until it’s mine
I shall put any and all good fortune to use
My knowledge gained from your experience
This is what I steal under a full moons shine

Love it! And the picture is beautiful. 🙂
Thanks
I often think of life as an ocean, dark, mysterious, troubling, but sometimes calm and beautiful its always profound.
Thank you Scarlet. The ocean is a tremendous metaphor for life. I agree completely. The ocean is full of wonder but also very deep and potentially dangerous if not respected.
Still, there is surfing, fun – until the board whacks you in the face 😀
I love this, John. It sparked my whole music theme today. I’m so sick. I had no idea what I was going to do and there you and your awesome poem were! 🙂
Glad I could help. Feel better okay?
I’m getting there. ❤
