Long did I sail
under a blackening sky
a ship in stormy waters
on the gloomy sea inside
One night the wind raged
foamy nails speared the hull
I prepared for my fall
breathed my final mouthful
The ship about to break
thunder gave its final roar
light ignited the sea
and a vision there on board
On top the winds do rule
causing monstrous waves that drown
but deep where no light shines
there is stillness and calm ground
I threw an anchor of light
at the bottomless pit of blue
and followed it down where
I peace and wisdom could pursue
On my way down that night
I met creatures from the past
but seeing them up close
they no longer struck me so aghast
At the deepest depths I found
a tranquil space called Home
although water still here flow
no more wild currents roam
WOW!!!
