Odyssey
what Odyssey?
here I am
I stand free

life is real
not mythology
I breathe, I feel
I live---I long to be

why the distant waters?
deep enough herein I could see
why seek will-o'-the wisp
chasing the impossibility?

I claim to be no hero
in my vulnerability
all that I should do
is to embrace that which is before me.
