Longships

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Mar 27, 2018

Casting
off the
shores,
bound for
faraway lands.
Setting 
sail on 
dark seas,
uncertain, 
unknown 
the travails 
that await.
Crew steeled 
for
adventure 
exploration 
fame
glory.
No 
turning back.
Humanity 
departing. 
Longships
rising, slow
gracefully 
plumes of 
power
moving beyond 
earthly bounds
out into the
cosmos.
Climbing the
ultimate 
mountain.
Searching 
exploration 
triumph!
