Completion

In life; we each have a task; a commission;
we’ve made a promise of what we’ll do;
the choice, we made, was our own decision;
and we’re given the strength to come thru.

Very much like a ship on the ocean,
we’re searching to find dry land;
where we can share all our devotion,
with a partner to help understand.

I need not be a king in his castle;
for kings get deposed and slain;
and being in charge can be a hassle;
especially if it’s all in vain.

Besides, I cannot be married to a queen.
What effect could she have on my passions?
From the moment she arrived on the scene,
her thoughts: my throne or her fashions?

Nor would I a captain of commerce be;
having climbed to the top of some ladder.
Then knocked down by one younger than me;
whose confidence had become fatter.

An adventurer, living alone, is not me;
it’s like living inside of an ocean;
rising to its surface intermittently;
to absorb a fresh breath of devotion.

I fancy myself as one writing lines,
unearthing life’s deepest deceptions;
but doubt, comes creeping, sometimes;
so I stuff myself with confections.

The hero of every life story,
is never the one at the top;
the one deserving of all glory,
is the one who won’t let him stop.
