Calm never
lasts
Another storm
always beckons.
New waves to overcome,
This massive,
Uncertain and
turbulent
Sea of life,
Such sailors
as her
Risk all and
suffer most,
Masts falling
in on them
Like giant
trees,
Yet also
leave her exposed,
No rewards to
be won,
How vulnerable
Even the
powerful become,
Forced to
sail on,
Bodies scarred
from the turmoil,
Scared on the
inside
While keeping
their outer face stern,
She is a
siren
Who still
sings her songs
Even after
her ship has sunk,
Her songs
about lost love,
Ot souls
consumed
By the
unforgiving sea,
Still somehow,
She survives,
A potent
Athena
Or Hera,
As mighty
even as Zeus,
Becoming that
faint
Speck on the
horizon,
Lost to us
In the waves
