The Island of Unlived Dreams

The ship left the dock but in the darkness and all alone
In the open seas she circled again and again
With no light to guide her  along the way and her direction uncharted
She sadly  returned  back  to the only security she’s ever known
And to the passengers not yet  ready to be left alone
Though her journey short and unfulfilled 
Hope still hangs in her midst that one day she will brave the rough waters
Long enough to  find  the Island Of Unlived Dreams
