Beneath the velvet sky, the boy floats alone,
A silent canoe sways, no sound, just the tone
Of waves that whisper secrets in the night,
As the moon casts shadows, soft and bright.
The sea beneath him teems with life unknown,
A dance of creatures in the depths they've grown—
A whale’s tail flits like a shadowed dream,
A jellyfish glows in a ghostly gleam.
Lost in the vastness, the boy seeks his way,
A soul adrift, a heart led astray.
He gazes up at the heavens’ endless sea,
Each star a whisper, each flicker a plea.
"Where am I going? What is this plight?"
His voice swallowed by the endless night.
But the stars speak softly, a guide from afar,
The light of a distant, unreachable star.
In the silence, he calls out to the divine,
"Are you there, God? Can your light be mine?"
The universe, vast, yet so close to his soul,
A light in the dark, a beacon, a goal.
The stars flicker brighter, the sea a calm sheet,
He feels a stillness, where heartbeats meet.
The creatures around him, the stars up above,
A reminder that guidance comes wrapped in love.
And though the night feels endless and wide,
He knows he’s not lost—he’s just on a ride.
For even in darkness, even adrift,
There’s a quiet voice giving him a lift.
The boy on the canoe, with stars for his guide,
Learns that sometimes, it’s okay to just ride.
For in the silence, the night, and the waves,
There’s a truth that guides him, that he’ll always crave.
