Sparkle that ship
Heading on a voyage,
In the ship of life,
To an island unknown,
In the sea of experience,
With a baggage from the past.

Raising the sails through many untold islands,
With gleaming pearls by the shores,
Getting the sails down, anchors low,
Fetching those pearls of wisdom,
Adding up to my ship on the sea.

Not always do I find pearls,
Times when the turbulence hits,
Rocks of courage find me,
Adding wind and mast to my sails high,
Upgrading the dynamism of the journey unknown.

Creaming my way through the frothy blues,
Up and down the ship it jiggles,
Notes of melody or the cacophony,
Tuning the ship afloat,
To the music of harmonious being.

Determining the indeterminable, is the fuel of elixir,
Keeps me afloat, or in mid-sea I sink,
None can measure it, none can treasure this,
Unshadowing me in this opaque shine,
With the mystery of the destination, powering up the engines of my ship.
