Daring the Sea for Life

Daring the Sea for Life


For life, in unknown Places

Strange places

Uncertain but, seemingly and wishfully better places

Yet, I am drawn to it

As if mine

As if mom and dad laid a place for me

Hopeful to get welcoming embrace

Food, clothing, bedding, comfort or, at least decent leaving space

Unfazed by my ignorance,

Unware of my ignorance

Uncertain of my destiny but certain of my will to leave  

Pushed by circumstance or agitators  

Naïve, and unaware of the naiveté to my detriment



Yet I trek,

I trek on the desert,

I trek through unfamiliar wilderness of life

I trek through unfamiliar-unknown places

I trek-through as-a-stranger to-strangers

Trekking with hopes of landing on these better places

No guarantees, no assurances

Yet I Trek


I trek to stare the sea, dare the sea

I stare and stare at stormy clouds

I stare as far I can into the hollow distance beyond my reach

I stare into darkness and hollow spaces

I stare to dare the motion, the waves, and stormy oceanic waves

I stare to dare the rain and thunderstorms  

I stare


And I dare

To step bravely

To sail away


I sail away
