Voyage Through Obscurity

A man is standing alone on shore in darkness on a foggy night. He is looking out over the water when suddenly he hears a ships fog horn. He can not see the ship but the repeated sound of the horn and his present state of mind he begins to associate himself with this ship. The man is at a crossroad in his life. He knows his life has been unsatisfactory up to now and is posed with a choice as to how to proceed in the future. One way is risky, the other is safe. A heavy fog looms over the water. A far-off horn somewhere in the distance Wails its melancholic voice of despair Repeatedly and urgent persistence. On shore I stand alone in the darkness Feeling a coexistence with this ship That navigates blindly more or less Onward a potential perilous trip. Where is my life taking me on its voyage? What is my warning device? Do I scream Out loud when life’s pitfalls impede my way? Shall I navigate without a light beam Through life’s hazardous chartered odyssey Or flounder searching for safe guarantees?
