Jaded Poem by Abby Koning

Through eyes of jade hue, tranquil waters I survey
I watch and await the dawn with bated breath,
Though I’ve become so jaded
Where is the rising sun that will banish my ennui?
Where are the rays of hope in my ever-present dismay?
I long to breathe in the scent of the sea
And in doing so, to cleanse my lungs
Of all the deceit and insults this world has offered me
The smoky lies inhaled long ago.
So I take to the jade sea, as the heroes of long ago
As the winds of mystery fill my sails
And onward I will sail to where sky meets green
Until I find the object of my quest.
With my hand to my eyes, I peer into the distance.
I sail for truth.
I sail for purpose.
I sail for the horizon.
