Best Navigational Poems

As long as man has lived upon this Earth
     The quest for beacons of light has endured
Primitive cultures, man’s earliest ancestors
     Found wonder in the moon’s allure

Born the daughter of a Lemhi Shoshone chief
she was captured by the Hidatsa in her teens. 
And sold to the Mandan Missouri River tribe
where she met and married Toussaint Charbonneau.

A French Canadian trapper and a trail guide
Charbonneau was familiar with the region.
Meriwether Lewis and William...

Zipping through New Hampshire’s White Mountains
Suspended by a rope through trees
Autumn colors accompany a brisk breeze
Turning your face bright, scarlet red
Don’t look down, just peer ahead
Live joyfully in each challenging activity

“What,” you say, “no engine?”
Sail planes ride wind currents
Regular airplane tows you up
Then you are...

how does anyone go from being good to being great?
what is required in order for someone to elevate?
to be an agent or an angel of the Lord our God
to have been designated because of the righteousness in your heart
blessed to be a blessing when you...

don't grab the steering wheel while God is driving the car
just put your trust in Him that you will travel very far
we have a tendency to pray on things but of them we won't let go
we keep worrying about the problems and won't let God...

It floats through the air effortlessly
Wings beating at high velocity
A navigational marvel instinctively
It's amazing with 5 stages of puberty

With a 4" wingspan it's really impressive
Every one tries to catch one for their collection
They fly every which way in every direction
Stunning beauty seen upon closer inspection

The...

Standing here feeling the constancy of the trade winds blowing my hair around
I marvel at the bright whiteness of the birds flying in their madly screaming love of 
life
Again I try to focus on one. It’s a futile task for even my young eyes
How they...

~An Open Book~

My life is quite an open book
For anyone to take a look.
It’s lying there for all to see 
Feel free to uncover the real me.

Within its pages I share my heart.
It’s like a navigational chart
To my dreams, my pain, my sorrow,
And all my...

Amidst waves with their varied intensities 

Beyond disasters and catastrophes

Contending and prevailing over calamities

Determined am I to do my mission for seafarers

Effectively warning against ocean-caused wreckage 

Fulfilling my role as good guide...

Guarding and governing toward right route

Here I stand formidably, helping save precious lives

Influencing triumphant...

Could it make you feel
You know it all
Watch out
I might fall

Out of this world
Out of this mind...
...set...
And that's match point

To the point
It's the tip of the iceberg

Your ship crashes
into my world
Navigational direction
can't help you now

"Watch out for falling dreams,"
the sign reads
They can break your hopes
and...

Contemplation is what is required to maintain a healthy mind.  With it, you will have the power to communicate. Without it, you will join that ever increasing group of zombies you will pass by almost everyday of your living existence.


Contemplate that you are not...

There was no rotation around the sun
Earth was the center of the universe without rotating
People would literally go Medieval on your ass
Ships on the ocean were frequently eaten by sea monsters
Or fell off the planet due to poor navigational planning
They say the worlds end is...

He asked for directions
It was a train ride and a walk that mirrored mine
We were apart on the train
My minimal sociability
We met in the roar of passengers
A second offer of navigational help was given
We strolled with small introductions and talked
The ticket office prompted our fission
A...

Luxury liners 

A crew of thousands mostly 
low paid men and women 
who works long hours 
for little reward. 
How to train them to be 
competent seafarers?
Add four thousand passengers 
who know little of the perils of the sea. 
It takes so little a fire...
