Out to Sea

Have you ever experienced something,
something that carries you to the brink of your self?
Something that almost rips you out of your own skin,
because your soul wants it more than life?

It takes me Out to Sea.
That vast and endless plane.
Timeless, always nascent.

Without even a glimmer of afterthought,
Patterns and images break on waves,
Amalgamated and free.

I cannot single-handedly tame it,
but I can guide ships.
I can teach others to navigate,
To weather storms, to command fleets.

For it is in that stormy sea,
That we are all in the same boat,
And owe each other a terrible loyalty.

Yes, there is something latent
In those peregrinating vessels that seek harbor.
It is my desire to diligently share with them,
the experiences that brought me Out to Sea.
