Fear
Unfurled are my sails
Upon a sea of unknowing
Wind of change guiding me
On a ship called “Fear"
The gentle tap...tap...tap
Of water from moisture ridden sails
Falls upon teak, underhand
Steering me from peace of mind
Trials and tribulations before me
Waves on a great expanse
Pound against my consciousness
Reminding me of mortality
Hope is a distant horizon
Parabola, near the setting sun
Adrift on an unlikely road
Where water meets the sky
Naked in this state of being
Stripped of all acquiesced
Still searching for reason
I succumb to faithlessness
