Notes About The Poem

AHOY!

 

It’s not a foregone conclusion,

but a stinging reality: Even porcupines

master love, without making pain

a subsidiary organism:-

 

Though the pain of love's waves

may froth ashore, waves will recede

and froth will eventually dissipate 

with healing evaporation: Leaving a sea

of memories floating on the ocean of life:-

 

Thoughtfully watered, always keep in mind, 

you’re the captain of your soul, and

the blown wind in its sail:-  And remember,

though docked and anchored, you can still 

set sails for tomorrow—getting ready today:-

Ahoy, Matey! Be in winds of sailing grace:-

 

 

 

AHOY

AHOY!

It’s not a foregone conclusion,
but a stinging reality: Even porcupines
master love, without making pain
a subsidiary organism:-

Though the pain of love's waves
may froth ashore, waves will recede
and froth will eventually dissipate 
with healing evaporation: Leaving a sea
of memories floating on the ocean of life:-

Thoughtfully watered, always keep in mind, 
you’re the captain of your soul, and
the blown wind in its sail:-  And remember,
though docked and anchored, you can still 
set sails for tomorrow—getting ready today:-
Ahoy, Matey! Be in winds of sailing grace:-
