sail of in life

this ship sails in one direction
never looks back
only memories they drift by
saying how i feel
cast in this world an ocean of memories
always dreaming of something better
missing what you never had
sailing of into illusion
looks begin to fade
to feel the change
i am only saying how we all feel
born to sail of in this life
from youth matures like a good wine
drinking of it you will be no more
we all still go in this direction
give me a number if you can manage
a mystery like the pyrmids of egypt
old was its destiny
the ship that sails in one direction
our age
all our memories
no one can stop this boat sailing
destained,final destanation our life
until this ship can sail no more
like an eagle my soul flies to the heavens
to be joined with angels

Good comparison, I suppose eventually all of our ships find that final port. Hope mine has loads of bars!!.

We always dream of something better - if we don't, are we not stagnant and maybe in a rut? Ah well, sail on

I really enjoyed this poem. As I thought of my life and direction as a ship sailing I felt kind of lonely blues then I would go off course to gather my memories laugh as I head to the final port. What a great story loved how you told it teddybear

This write is so poignant & insightful, Liam! I wanted to post a Beach Boys song called "Sail On, Sailor" and found a video from last year. This one is more ironic as they're much older now, in their 70's! As you wrote, we're sailing on till we sail no more! Blessings to you, dearest friend! angel wine heart wings

I like your allusion to life being like a one way trip aboard a ship as we all sail towards our destiny.

It is part of human psyche I believe, to be always dreaming of something better, some Shangri La where all is peace, health and harmony.

A fine write, Liam.
