[bodytext] => The storm has died down Waters calmly rock you to sleep Your ship was ripped apart Floating on its last panel, you catch your breath Your ship was the grandest So many passengers banded together Captain led you all to fight the current Forsake your sails; break your back rowing Many small ships pass you by Flowing free, effortlessly in the current Why don’t they fight as your captain once said? Peaceful and calm they fly atop the water Swallow your pride, captain is gone You are alone, be your own captain Boulders, rapids, speeding down river River touches Sea, Sea embraces you alone Lonely and beaten in the setting sun You spy the shore slowly approaching Your fellow passengers come in waves, thrashing you against the sand No one to save you now, you are captain—save yourself Row back out through the unrelenting sea Let the current guide you this time Allow your rivals to give you aid Let the salty water push you to freedom [comments] => 4 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 62 [informant] => Luinil [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )
