Two Ships Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

Two Ships



We are like two ships,
carved out of heaven's wood,
made to sail the seas of life
together to the glistening shore.

Far from yesterdays sorrows and pain
we sail to a peaceful place that they call paradise.
We are parallel in everything
but still we live our separate lives
and are like ships that are blown in the wind.

We do get stormy seas and even at times are lost
and are stranded on hostile shores,
always looking out for beacons
that point out the way.

There is always a lighthouse that guides the way
far from piercing rocks and shallow reefs
to safer waters, to new horizons
where two ships can meet along the way
and they are destined to belong together

but there will be a time that we depart
and into heaven's gate we will go
sailing only one by one
till the day we meet again.
