    Mariner's soul

    The souls of our life set free for flight,
    cast shadows on this dark stormy night.
    The ship we stand the storm we feel,
    waves crash upon the ship's wooden keel.
    The waves do crash, the ship does roll,
    the weakened hull forms a hole.
    The water runs in with every wave,
    the ships going down to its watery grave.
    The ocean reads the sailor's last rite,
    their souls set free this dark stormy night.

    Some soles are never set free and wander on in despair in hopes that they one day find peace in the things that torment them. Sometimes the weakend hulls are brought on by our own doings and we must deal wih the storms that we created but no longer have control over. Others,such as myself,will live life knowing that they can never repair the damage that was left behind and must regret it forever.

    The ship as a metaphor for our soul. This is well done and perfect for the storms of life. You are a true poet. Sally

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
