My ship is small. My sails are frayed.
The light is dim; yet, unafraid, I make my way
through uncharted waters deep into
the universal unknown.

In the distance on deck, you stand,
captain of mighty vessel. Still, you sail alone
after so long a journey. You are
an inspiration, a light

Upon silver sea, inviting
all we who set sail to risk the voyage, to explore
possibilities unimagined,
to steer clear of danger, dark.

Navigators, we are not so
different, though you are a giant in my eyes.
Compass in hand, we sail by heart,
side by side by soul by soul.
