WiP - Another 366 Days of Poetry: Of Sailing Ships and Starships

 From the current WiP, we have this - a contemplation of shipping evolution.

 

Of Sailing Ships and Starships

 

Tall ships sailed the open seas

Finding land by waves confined

Their sails like wings upon one breeze

Their journey’s end yet unconsigned

Steel ships lift from platforms

bound to earth on planets charted

Steel sails catch winds to be found

In vacuum skies sun started.

 

Our hist’ries and our futures

symmetric’lly reflected,

and stories run through cultures

of finding lands yet undetected.

 

In our paths do new songs grow

and on new worlds does new hope find its ease

Will we recall how, long ago,

Tall ships sailed the open seas
