Return To Self Poem by Samuel Segun Toluwalase

Return To Self



Beneath the rough tides of the sea
Beneath the noisy wind above

The silence and nothingness of life
The calmness of independence

In the heart of the sea, it sat
Largest duck to ever cruise the ocean

There lies its debris
Pieces laid across the ocean bed

Jointly linked by memories of the greatest of voyages
And the loudest of noises of time past

Wounded by the perks of ocean's beauty
Asleep in the pit of ocean's peace

From the noise of its first taste of sea
To the peace no one can see.

Return to self

Written in remembrance of a once mighty Ship, The Titanic

Return To Self
