The Voyage

All aboard, for the voyage of your life

It may be a stormy ride, but rest assured--

There will also be periods of serenity

One condition of boarding is leaving all your luggage behind

You must board as naked as the day you were born

That doesn't require disrobing, so let not thy smile be forlorn...

 

Poets and poetesses walked the gangway with quill in hand

Hello Poetry, sailing uncharted waters, destination unplanned

 

Conditions for happiness, left ashore, alongside misperceptions

The only requirement is an open heart, love without exceptions

 

Maybe a poet's paradise, with nowhere to go and nothing to do

Muses, softly whisper as the salt-imbued air, from the lady of blue

 

Corescating stars brought forth illuminated stanzas of profundity

Nigh all poets fell silent, immersed in the untold mystery of Thee

 

Thus, words became sanctified by the depth of the Great Wisdom

The voyage of a lifetime, revelation of the Omnipresent Kingdom...
