Amidst the pounding thunder
And towering waves
Lit in the night
By searing lightning
A small ship sails
The sailor gazes back
To distant horizons
Not quite seeing
But feeling
His former home
As winds scream and tear
And waves crash and drag
He battles onward
Through tempest
To unknown lands
Decisions made long ago
For risk and fortune
Over calm simplicity
Run swift as the howling gale
Through rain blinded eyes
Easy winds and calm seas
A life of lazy tranquillity
A life forsaken
To battle tempest fury
And still unregretful

Sometimes the decisions we make lead to greater difficulty in our lives. All that we can really do is accept those decisions and hope for better outcomes down the line.
