Voyage to the Depth


Voyage to the Depth
By: Adam M. Snow

Woe unto us, one of many,
yet was not the foe-of any-
unto us the storm crashing tides,
but to sail on, voyage to the depth.
I envy Seas, whereon we rides-
by thee captain side, I stand tall.

Waves crashing upon the haul,
the creaks of soaked oaken rot.
A sound throughout the ship had caught.
Tossing and turning, the ship sailed not.
The thoughts of death upon us all,
among this time, we all stand tall.

We await the time calming sea,
to sail this voyage once again.
We know not the curse may be,
but we know to sail on to the depth.
None-the-less to live on dreaming,
as we sail the moonlit tides gleaming.

A glistening light in the far distance,
our only hope to our existence.
That might prove useful and yet never proves;
closer we are, the further it moves.

Lest not give up hope,
for many should cope;
a journey seen fit till the end.
I should not dare to leave my friend,
but if we do not see the shore again,
I make mend of my very sin.

But the stormy seas rages still,
this voyage ceases to thrill.
Lightning clashes throughout the sky.
a time like this, all things must die.

Journey on to that dark horizon,
until our bodies rot and wizen
All but I am sickened for home,
out at sea, do we forever roam.

Many are ill since lost at sea,
all now knows what our curse may be.
Traveled the world, many times till now,
onto the depth, our soul soon sail.
We leave behind our eternal vow,
our promise to return to our love somehow.

We now sail down the river Styx,
free from the havoc ocean tides.
Lost at sea, not a month but six,
as we leave behind our many brides.

Our vision's clearer than ever before,
our voyage ends, not a glimpse of shore.
Our soul sails on, onto the abyss,
our life's voyage went amiss.
We leave behind a story untold,
lore and most soon behold.
