Poem
By Tony Angelo If you're drifting on a empty ocean, with no wind to feed your sail, The vast expanse of blue would surrounds you, Into a solitary journey without a trail. The waves would crash against your weathered hull, with a rhythmic lullaby that soothes your soul, but yet, the silence is such a void to fill, your requested destination which was unknown even still. The sun has beat down, in a relentless glare, a reflecting off the endless sea, Your thirst grows as your hope may begins to wane, adrift in this vast, unforgiving sea. But still, you press on, your spirit is unbroken, determined to find your way back home, For in the sounds of this ocean, a path is spoken, to a journey that you must undertake, alone. The stars above are your only guiding light, It shines down upon your weary form, Offering a beacon in the darkest night, a promise of your safe return, a haven from the storm. Your days may have turn to night, then weeks to months, and your supplies may have dwindle, as your strength fades, Yet, you refuse to give in, or even succumb to what you haunts, a whisper of a fate you cannot evade. And then, in the distance, a glimmer of hope, from a far distant shore, with a promise of land, You must muster your last ounce of strength, and you cope, by steering your vessel towards ttis promise of land. As you see the waves crash against this rocky coast, You can imagine a triumphant song, a symphony of you life, And as you step onto the shore, remembering all your lost, but now, a new chapter can begins, free from any other cost. From this empty ocean, a t life was nearly stole, has forged you anew, a resilient soul, For in the face of adversity, you did not settle, but emerged stronger, with your spirit now whole.
