He hoists his ragged sail <br />And beholds an unequal grace <br />He knows not whether he’ll prevail <br />In this silvery, glowing place <br /> <br />Comprised of beauty and terror, <br />He sets a course for the unknown <br />Perhaps his gravest error, <br />He’ll wear through any cyclone <br /> <br />He peers into the abyss, <br />It’s moniker: the deep blue <br />And through all fear, he persists <br />With this dangerous pas de deux <br /> <br />He drifts upon the moonlit sea, <br />Reflecting an ethereal sky <br />The remains of his ship, scattered debris <br />He floats away with the tide.<br /><br />Alex Gomez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-emotion-transcending-the-sea/
