the ship
led astray by a toiled string
an empty map
yet a filled legend
the plight of where to go
but nowhere to stay
the sole answer is remain
remain in the moment
of unwavering focus
and of heightened perseverance
only to stay afloat
with armored water
and spears of wind
waiting for gravity to prey
make the first move
and it’s over.
a false shift of balance
and gravity makes its play
queen to c4
checkmate
the moment is over.
fallen further from the sky
all seems lost
sunken treasure never to be found
the bottomless ocean
the sole pinpoint on an empty map
but the ocean says “look, dear”
as the sun’s light ripples through
igniting the collaged regions of the map
awaiting to be found
like hidden troves
the moment is over,
but a new one begins.
