~~~~~~~~^~~~

to those who have tried
but only did fail
shaken and bruised
by tides and travail
drop not down your anchor
nor settle with rancor,
nor idle or rest unassured.
but instead be unmoored
on the ship stay aboard,
afloat in the water and poised for the breeze
follow the wind when it blows to the seas
direction may change, change yours with ease
for what was one minute choppy and hopeless to ride
may the next be your clearest current and guide,
and though in the ocean no path leaves a trail
a boat must be untied
before it can sail
