The Old Sailor

This is the first poem I have written in over 10 years. It can be considered as a sequel to my last poem "Unflinching Determination"

The Old Sailor

The sky covered with mighty clouds
Giant waves roaming free
Gale force winds tossing the boat
In the vast treacherous sea.

Weakened by unending journey
Forgotten by the old Time
Alone in stormy waters
The old sailor sailing for years.

All is gone and all is lost
In search of his coveted dream
Old sailor kept on sailing
To reach the land grass green.

Against all odds he’d travelled far
On his own for all those years
At last, a glimpse in his eyes
Of the green grass land worth die.

On green grass land the sailor lay
Lonely, lonely as always.
