Leaving the shores so well known
I set sail to find the elusive land
Brushing away the learning of yore
I set my sights on the faraway shore
I journeyed, my mind filled with apprehension
Interspersed by windless nights, I sought divine intervention
A black storm answered my heavenly call
Undeterred, steeled by the ethereal moon, I refused to stall
Doubts creeped into my mind, from the onset
Growing stronger and stronger after each sunset
Still, I weathered on, harbouring a faint belief
Hoping, reaching the shore would bring relief
The silent waters stirred up an unnerving noise in my head
Playing tricks with my heart, my mind conjured images after images
Like a guiding star, my burning desire kept me on course
Alas! Desire engulfed me and madness ran its course
Delirium set in, I let myself slip into it
Rueing my fate, I wondered, is this it???
Peering through the mist in my head I could see the shore again
Smiling, I closed my eyes, tired of making the same mistake......again & again & again
