The Voyage Poem by James Moon

' Existence is an ocean.'



The body is a vessel, this life is a sea.
God brings the winds that fill its sails,
But it' s captain is only me.
Other ships may come and fire against us.
My crew may plot a mutiny,
If succeed they do, and if I lose
My ship goes down with me.


No one else will tell me how,
Or why, or what, or when.
Till the sea swallows us up,
And it' s waters birth us anew.
Till I say good bye, the final time,
And sail those seas again.
