Sail Toward The Rainbow...

A Reply To Maverick's Poem...

 

Despondent why

Revealing the sigh

Ever present in life

Aggrieved you may be

Maverick of the sea

Still hope can you not see?

Captain of your life

Against the waves that

Reach out and pull you back

Row with courage and desire

Yet the best is to come for you

Yearn for the fire in your heart

Only then comes the desire to

Usurp the throne from your

Foe, look ahead with expectation

Opaque heart to negative emotion

Risk it all again, don’t let the

Wind blow you further away from

All the dreams you once cherished

Rise from the ashes of regret

Destiny awaits you, wearied traveler

Instinct will guide you right again

Now you maybe alone without help

Leave the past, and the sorrow

In due time company will arrive

Foreboding mist may darken your eyes

Even then will yourself on to see light

Mind should be strong, never letting go

Against the current, you can steer

Vent your fury on that which holds you back

Every wave of fury let it spur you on ahead

Raise your voice, and shout into the wind

“I Will Not Be Held Back Ever Again”

Charred remains of the past you will not see

Keep only the memories, which make you, smile

Let the heavens open up, but you continue with hope

In every obstacle, see something that lies beyond it

Veiled maybe the joy, time has arrived to reveal it

Enervate yourself, time to charge through with passion

In your life’s voyage, time now to seek company,

To help you steer the ship, to calm waters

Heal the wounds, let the sorrows be illusions

Afire be your heart with passion, strong be your soul

Perhaps the light is at the horizon, sail on strong

Pain is always there, like storms in the sea of life

Yet only after the rain, does appear the rainbow
