unwavering - Daily Dose of Meaningless Prose

in the distance i can see you
through the fog
unclear.

a simple smile of surety
and naivete sublime
unphased.

but the ship is sailing
oh mayra dear
unaware.

the gulls swoop and loop
but all away
away from the island of grey sand
and good intentions
unscathed.

the shore slithers and sinks
while your feet buried in the warm sands of leisure
vanity fair
unblemished.

this fog thickens like a stubborn stew
and the waves begin to awake
i’ll jump mayra, i will
the ship will linger and the captain stalls
but mayra, oh dear
you must know and you must show
the unwavering leap of no return.

content and daring
confident and leaping
sure and sorry
but never ever
unreachable.
