A Voyage Without Instruction

A voyage Without Instruction My many friends in cyberspace; but none can heal my fears; The distances are far too vast; and I’ve worn them all these years. Drifting into nothingness; my ship is now off course; Auto-pilot’s taking me; to the island of remorse. As if paralyzed by coma; my body won’t control; I can’t stop the way I go; even though I know. Debris from other travelers; lost along the way; Warning me I should turn back; but on this course I stay. In my heart I had a love song; but I think it was a dream; Somewhere down inside of me; I hear a desperate scream. Here I am again; back behind the wheel; Plotted to the unknown; confused to what is real. When I wonder what I’m doing here; and why it’s so intense; All conclusions seem to fit; and the answers too immense. This twisted journey that I’m on; will only let me pause; And I can only man the wheel; on this voyage of unknown cause I think about Apostle John; who spent his days in jail; I wonder if I’m born of him; but even him I failed. Still I write these letters; and form them to a poem; Perhaps the few who read the words, will always know their home.
