Unchatered Waters

The sun rises
from its nocturnal slumber.
Its gaze perpetual
Dawn has shattered the darkness.

Breaking the surface.
Waves crash upon her bow.
A trail left in her wake
Of death and despair.

The essence of the ocean
Filling tattered sails,
With the breath of her children
Living and dead.

No destination! No purpose!
She floats seemlessly
Blinded by sin.
Laden with the Damned.

Fog embraces.
Her silhouette faint.
The Deck stained with good and evil
The ocean floor wails as she passes.

Hull speckled with flaws and weakness.
Rot has set in.
Pristine no more
Her integrity lost.

Reflection on the surface
A farce.
A doppelganger
Lingers.

Haunted by a False past
She sails to the end of the earth.
Her name a curse
Her deeds infamous

To Rest
To Finally Dissipate
She Grinds to a halt
To Die in Unchatered Waters.
