A Sailor's tune


we sailed into the sunset

disappearing on the horizon

lost and forgotten sailors...

venturing into that which

no one has ventured before,

caught in the fog of daylight

blinded by the sunlight

hiding from the heat below...

we dare the monsters to find us

dare them to eat us alive

knowing our words are nonsense

pretending we are already dead...

anxiously awaiting our fate

we steal a glimpse into the unknown

trying to see what we can see

as far as we can,,,  nothing...

we have reached out to oblivion

and she has responded with

absolutely nothing...  desolate

quiet reaches into our souls

we are abandoned and not

worth saving by the gods.
