A Voyage To Hope

Sailing on a sea of Fear
Illuminated by darkness, I steer.
Deafened by silence,
My mind is dipped in valence.

There are no route maps
To the Land of Nowhere.
Nor are there any recaps
That lead me to no where.

With a compass that is directionless,
On a journey that seems endless,
It seems forever and timeless,
I'm helpless, but certainly not hopeless.

I know, it lies somewhere there,
The Shore of Hope,
Is where my heart longs to dare
With nothing to do but mope.

Hungry creatures wait beneath
For me, and for my defeat.
They crawl under slowly as I sail;
Treacherous things...I see a tail!

They're doomed in Ignorance
For they can't see the Light,
They are confined to Darkness
Blindly battling a losing fight.

I persist and move on
Until I see land that shines on,
I know now, for I have reached,
The destiny I'd always dreamed.
