My Voyage Poem by Valsa George
My Voyage
Leaving the sheltered confines of the past
I embarked on a voyage, fresh and new
With the present volume and its contents closed down
To open another and pore over its pages anew
Everything was calm and still as I set out
Except the pain of being cast loose from my anchorage
Over the swelling magnitude, we sailed past
To alight into the novelties of another world
On the bosom of a tranquil sea, with fleecy clouds above
We moved on to realms, fanciful and new
And continued to sail over the lolling waters
Gazing at the finny herds in undulating waves
But sudden was the turn of wind and weather
The waves rose to mountain heights
Thunders bellowed over the wild waters
And the sea into an aggressive fiend turned
The billows lashed and crashed over the rocks
All around was the booming sound of rushing waves
Flashes of lightning, left rents in engulfing gloom
And the ship, adrift in the roaring currents
At a point when it was about to drown
The tempest subsided, the sky turned clear
What Providence has saved us from our peril?
We keep wondering now and ever
Knowing that tempests will again strike
And our vessel will be rocked hither and thither
Now, with greater caution in every move
With the riggings once more fastened tight
And with the blue line of a cherished past
Receding quickly away like a cloud in the horizon
We continue our voyage, braving the waves
And sail past to regions far and unknown!
Indeed a superb piece of art, trying to explain the mystery Of life....... Life whose identity is still a mystery for us, a voyage in a timeless vista but beyond our Authority and will and has to be encounter with grit and will. Herman Melvill says that life is a voyage that's Homeward bound......it's yielding an insights into the poet's heat and soul And we should not forget Hardy (Tess & Jude) who admits the savageness of fate that has to be fulfilled....such piece of artistic expression might turn you as a stoic or cynic as we are sure that these tempests will strike again Sometimes its seems a smooth glide into a space but suddenly a peril welcome you from nowhere, so we must bless our vision with new meaning and understanding to cope it. A great drama of life has been explained in the voyage.... i would say a Romantic philosophy that takes our souls to regions far and unknown!
a new horizon of hopes made this sweet voyager in the cloudy sea And The waves rose to mountain heights Thunders bellowed over the wild waters And the sea into an aggressive fiend turned
It's often scary moving on to pastures new, and there are often difficulties ahead which we cant predict. But life is a challenge, a challenge we have to face in order to move on. A very good write Valsa, which I enjoyed reading.
The narrative scares and the spirit of a rough weather on the sea sends shivers down the spine. Bur the sudden decline in the ferocity of waves brings a blissful relief to the voyagers. At a point when it was about to drown The tempest subsided, the sky turned clear
life's journey is full of storms knowledge and judgement will the battle won Thanks Valsa.++
Life of voyage so beautifully depicted and inspires one to live life gallantly......Valsa.......great imagery accompanied with inspiring lines to face life courageously........great write.....10/10
Wow Valsa this was an awe inspiring poem. I don't like being on the water but your so nicely expressed boat ride was a pleasure. We may set out to embark on an adventure but may happen across some obstacles along the way. We must keep our eyes on whats up ahead and try no to lose our focus. Just around the corner if we hang on there is blessings. Lovely.
A fantastic voyage with excellent presentation.Your imagery is brilliant !
