The Unmoored Ship

The Unmoored Ship I waltz through the ship, Yet not dancing like the eerie drizzle in my mind, While footprints dissolve into the quiet embrace of the deck. The laborers pace back and forth, Hauling their burdens— Just like me, struggling to steady my steps, Misaligned with my thoughts. I beg the tranquil wind Not to whisper my prophecy to the sky, But the sky knows— My heart is rumbling, just like the restless waves below, Ready to make the ship quiver with an untold feeling. Just as I thought this feeling would fade, At the edge of the deck, I saw a beautiful stranger lit from within, Glowing through every inch of the deck, Piercing my heart on the verge of darkness. The way the rainbow shimmered in his eyes Made me realize— I wanted to love my life again.
