Two Ships Poem by Brian Swaine

Two souls adrift on a sea of emptiness;
Like two ships in search of that long-lost horizon.
Neither one knowing if their course leads east or west;
Neither one knowing where they’ll end or where they’d begun.
Then, like a beacon in the dark, I heard your voice, saw your light;
I checked my charts, plotted course and set sail
Into the distance, the darkness and into the night;
To set forth on a journey I knew mustn’t fail.
It didn’t take long for our paths to collide;
For the two ships to finally come face to face.
And now, they are able to journey side by side;
Or to do anything that their hearts may embrace.
Now we must always remember that we should never quit,
Once we’ve boarded, together, the good ship “friend”-ship.
