Voyage

By Poet: "A blue carpet as far as we can see. My child I call it an Ocean."
I could not stay,
just needed to run away.
Being called by the bright blue seas,
to see what I could see.
The old ship was way too small,
her mast was very tall.
Not knowing where this voyage would take me.
I felt free like a flying bumble bee.
The sun kept me warm by day,  
by night I saw big clouds of gray.
Will I ever return back home,
for now I just want to roam.

It sounds like you are an adventurer at heart - the bright blue seas also always beckon me Paula, there is something enticing and entrancing and certainly magical just watching the waves roll in, the tide come in and out, and its almighty anger at times. Great poem my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

Hey Paula.. The concluding lines evoke a sense of ambivalence, as the speaker reflects on the possibility of returning home while also expressing a desire to continue roaming. This comparison captures the tension between the comfort of familiarity and the allure of the unknown, leaving the reader to ponder the eternal human quest for adventure and discovery..
