Ode to the man that sails the seas, He is the captain of his vessel and his crew looks up to him.
He’s been on the ocean for years and years, he doesn’t know what his home looks like nor the love of his life.
He looks over the vast ocean trying to find land but there is none to be seen.
His hope starts to fade and his joy begins being laid.
Laid out for fate to take over.
His spirit weakens as he begins to think about his love and his life.
What has become of the man we don’t know, but as the time goes by many tell his story.
His story lives on in the hearts of all men and women.
It’s just how you look at the story and think,
Think about how this man lived.
Did he live like a king?
Did he live like the poor?
We shall never know for he has passed before he came home.
So ode to the man that sails the seas,
His life and legacy will live on forever more.
And ode to the one that he loved for he shall never see that person again until she dies and ascends to the heavens.
They were parted but then in the end, found each other once again.
So ode to the two lovers that once lived.
For they shall live forever on the other side and once they meet, they will never part again.
Never again for they are at an eternal rest.
I just free wrote this poem so it's not really that great
