The Sea of Life

The journey is infant and the waters are calm the boat is carried on soft waves as if sailing on a child's palm as the sounds of peaceful streams sends a newborn to sleep. The boat makes way as the child slumbers a fresh mind kept in the oceans trance begins to dream and wonder resting, unbeknownst as the vessel slips into a mist. Now the child wakes up as a youth, opening eyes to a fog of illusions and truth. Distraught and confused but taking the ship and beginning to stir. All the obstacles are shrouded in mystery as the boat stumbles and brings worries and misery, the youth is lost and is subdued to the sea's leer. But after spending years in a vapor steaming with obstructions the youth has begun to familiarize and find way through its restrictions as a physique that has come of age emerges from the smoke. Sailing with a new found grip, a mind learned and clear. A will to bend storms and ripe the glory even out of fear. Now a fragile conscious ascends into desire that runs amok. Now with a daring soul to challenge the roaring sea soaring to the crests with high waves of ambitions released The pinnacle of the ocean,this new life seeks to reach. The spirit lived as an unaware stowaway wandered as a lost sailor now leads as a captain of ones own ship, whose spirit nothing can breach. And as the leader scales the known seas, attaining all the desires one can believe, satisfaction gleams into a smile but the handles become loose and spirit steep. As the journey becomes old, and the waters have finally settled down as the sounds of peaceful streams sends a worn out captain to sleep.
