The Last Voyage

The seas were aghast

Clamoring waters swept by the brutal torrent

The skies were obscurely dark

As the storm pushed away everything in its path

Strong currents consumed ships and boats

Vessel by vessel

Engulfed by measureless depth

Yet one ship struggled feebly to stay afloat

Navigating hastily against the violent tide

Only one ship made it ashore.

The only ship buoyant, amidst nature’s upheaval

One ship came back to tell tales of terror

Yet it was shunned as an enchanted survivor

Narrowly escaping demise through the supernatural

Indelibly present, like that of a king’s talisman

Surviving crusades and battles of time

A deserter sent by gods

Who spoke of preposterous legends

And mythical tales of the unimaginable

Yet truth be told that in its glorious escape

Destiny was no accident

For fate dictates a predestined mission

An inevitable task it must partake
