a force of wind always blowing
forcefully at his back.
rushing tidal waves of despair to
reckon with and that's a fact.

as the sails are lifted to bring about
much needed speed.
there's a sense of emergency that
lies ahead in uncharted seas.

bows may break and there may be
much cargo that's forever lost.
holding on to the title of being a good
captain doesn't comes without a cost.

understanding what's in store as he
protects his unwavering crew.
there's a strong possibility of death
as troubles may brew.

scars of wisdom are embedded deep
within the lines of his face.
willing to befriend all of God's people
as he travels from place to place.
