An Endless Trek

The time has come, let us make haste
For the sun grows ever so dim
By this, we have not time to waste
And surely, the raging storms appear to be grim

Let not fear be the captain of our mind’s
Rather, muster up your might in the presence of darkness 
Lest we fail to overcome the prospect of mankind 
And let us not be known by any unfavorable harkness

Surely, the seas are wavering and unsteady
Thus we are bound to this boundless expedition
And surely seek a route in which we’ve found comfort already 
How exquisite it is, one’s inevitable rendition

Ay, the sun abdicates the sky, surely marking the day’s end
And from this endless voyage of life, we must surely transcend

An interesting attempt, and, certainly (surely) 14 lines....
