Voyages

 

It's never so simple as it seems

The dream is just out of reach

As it slips through the fingers of time

Blown by the winds of change

Painting broad strokes of

Comforted crestfallen birds

Languid creatures

Discontent

Yet unwilling

 

It's never so simple as it seems

Striving to reach the end of infinity

Stretching to find the eternally lost

Coming up short

By three dollars and some change

Yet knowing

Even the kings cannot find

What they search for

 

It's never so simple as it seems

Matching pace after pace

To an imaginary force

Abstractly confined

Concretely refuted

As you chart a course

Through the vast, open sea

The voyage started

The quest begun

The gauntlet thrown

 

It's never so simple as it seems

Watching land disappear

And the unknown envelop you
