A Tale of Two Ships

sailing forward without thought

A ship sets out on maiden voyage
young man’s first venture out,
an unsinkable ship
a journey leading into glorious unknown.

Cheers and laughter echo on the deck
champagne glows golden
in young man’s hand.

Sailing on unassuming seas
riding the waves of promise

an iceberg rises up
problems surfacing in
man’s carefully charted route.

Tolling of the bells
Security
Shattered
