Poem

When above the high sea in tempest 
Surging thunderous cloud swells 
The pole star disappears from the sky 
The ancient mariner in me loses the bearing. 

In dormant senses hope prevails
For the halcyon horizon will rise again 
In the sunburst tranquil dawn
Delineate the chromatic shore yonder. 
 
As my footsteps lose the rhythm of certainty
In the tortuous track called life
Leading me toward dismal wilderness 
I revive the faith latent within me.

I make to myself an ardent promise	
To run a long marathon race
Reach surely the winning position 
At the end of the painful pursuit.  
 
When I am lost in the labyrinth of living 
Search for the escape route 
But find the exit doors close one by one,
I then discover the hidden compass.

I follow the invisible trail of trust
Feel the resurgence of fortitude
For at the end of the tormenting tunnel 
I see the light of freedom finally appear. 

As the sunshine day fades out fast 
The twilight sky falls with depressing dusk  
I don’t forget that the sun should sink
To rise with surreal splendor again.
 
I wait for the heavenly hues to saturate me  
And inspire the Phoenix concealed within
To rise from the dust of distress
In the divine dawn of renascence.
