Nothing Ventured

Who were these men who stood on deck, and sailed the seven seas? To hoist the sails, and tell the tales throughout the centuries. Navigation by the stars to islands then unknown, like bitter root or passion fruit the seeds of wisdom sown. Adventure bound, they left home port though some did not return. They chased their dreams, but met their fate to sink or swim or burn... When their hourglass is empty, and the sea has laid it's claim, will history mark these sailors, or even know their names? Nothing ventured, nothing gained is that the measure of a man? The truth for each - it lies within they sail.... because they can. Copyright © 2009
