A Greater Captain(A Terzanelle Poem) Poem by Chris Embrick

Beyond this life there's an uncharted realm
to journey on requires higher wisdom
To a Greater Captain I give the helm
to yield the ship is my own decision
For sound advice I have no objection
to journey on requires higher wisdom
I dare not set sail without direction
I follow the moral compass of my heart
for sound advice I have no objection
When into unknown seas my ship embarks
I'll not trust winds of chance for tomorrow
I follow the compass of my heart
This earthly ship for a time I borrowed
whatever Port of Call waits at life's ending
I'll not trust winds of chance for tomorrow
I'll not go through life with thoughts unbending
Beyond this life there's an uncharted realm
whatever Port of Call waits at life's ending
To a Greater Captain I give the helm.
