“Sail Ho!”


“Sail Ho!”

cji
10/15/15

Drifting aimlessly upon the seas
days dragging into months-years
no ports to call home or safe known
caught among the waves restlessly
down casting eyes into the murkiness
futile attempts to reason existence
one day looking upward to the horizon
‘sail ho!’ comes the cry of others
till soon you too see the sail far away
coming closer and then yet closer
casting a line of truth-happiness
yet down casting your eyes again
missing the truth deliberately
so much offered in the ‘sail ho!’
unwilling to leave your peers
unwilling to take their laughter
drifting aimlessly upon the seas!
