Lost at sea Today I decided to task myself into doing something different. I'm a lover of poems but never gave it a go. So I decided to write a poem myself. This right here is my first poem. I do hope you like it ***Lost at Sea*** "Sail", He said "Sail and make exploits, sail until you reach the shores back to me" To each and every one of us He gave the instructions. The vast sea of undiscovered treasures He had let us all sail in To each his boat and paddle He sat patiently at the shore To watch but not meddle in our fishing and exploits Awaiting our arrival With his invisible hands he holds up the boats that has turned wobbly We were all meant to meet Him after we must have docked our boats At the shore Who would have thought that many would be lost at sea? That the desire to find all the hidden treasures of His sea Would lead many to dock in the deepest part of the sea? That many trusting sailors would be lost at sea because they trusted blindly? That some would choose to be lost at sea because they deny the existence of the shore? "None of my sailors would be lost at sea", He says Therefore he sent search parties to being back those lost at sea But what did lost sailors do? They stripped and shamed the search parties They robbed them of their boats and drowned them at the deepest part of he sea The survivors they sent back in battered form to Him but he would not give up "None of my sailors would be lost at sea", He still says. He also sent me but my boat never docked I thought I was sailing towards the shore but I got lost at sea in a quest for more treasures Now I try to find my way back to Him at the shore The tides are high and the treasures in my boat leaves it at the brink of wreck But no I won't tire One by one I will lighten my boat For what is the worth of the treasures I have gathered If my boat capsizes and I don't reach the shore Lost at sea Thanks for reading Lead image from unsplash
