Set Sail Once Again Poem by Dom Hunt

Set sail once again
Where I go I do not know
Sea rises and falls
Waves crash 
Into the weakness of me
Resolute I must become
Looking back on my home
Memories call me
Wanting to stay where
I belong
The shore becomes distant
The sweet smell of home
is tainted with salt spray
How I long to turn
The wind pushes me further
I fight it
Till I am weary
Storm weakens and strengthens 
Peace and chaos mixed 
Find strength somehow
To look ahead 
A new land across the sea
Is it really calling me
Unfamiliar is it's shores 
Strange land to explore
Will it treat like the last
With summer days
Cold winters blast
My restless soul needs a place
To rest and dream
Feel alive again
I step upon a rocky beach
To see a land new to me
Feels different 
Feels bigger
A look back across the sea
Distance is to far to see
What I left so long ago
My boat floats restlessly
Should I burn it 
Say goodbye to all 
Not yet
But the day will come
My soul can rest and dream
Boat will burn that day
Fire will consume the past
Look to distant shores
Say goodbye at last
