He flowed seaward, hoping to escape,
Floating aimlessly in to the sea of sins.
The years seemed decades
Time fused with his memories.
No guideline or boundaries
In the endless sea.
Offsprings of his wicked mind
Slowly, slowly all crawled out.
Loved, teased and seized him
All nursed sins of the flesh.
To find the way back
To the place where he had docked.
One day he reached
An unknown sandy beach.

I like the imagery of this poem. Sometimes we try to find our way back to where we started but trying to do so leads to a different path.
Thanks for stopping by! The different path is the one we're really supposed to take! ;0)
And that is where his adventure really begins.
Oh, yes! Sandy beaches are a magnet for explorers and adventurers! ;0)
