Voyage

Propped out front

Posed toward the sea
Juts a veiled figurehead
Public and put on
Promoting and pretending
Without perceptive knowing

Obscured in the dark
Cached inside the hold
Resides a timeless agent
Cloaked and covert
Commanding and controlling
Without complete knowing

Divided from each other
Desolate all alone
Resisting coordination
Detached and divorced
Clashing and conflicting
Without interconnected knowing

Adrift across the water
Asleep at the helm
Oblivious to shadows
Covered and concealed
Menacing and mystifying
Without mindful knowing

But beneath is pervasive
A puzzle yearning to be solved
Roused from a coma
Awake and alert
Planning and preparing
With slow progressive knowing

Emerging from within
One encounters the other
No longer autonomous
Accessible and close
Conceding and confiding
With amazement and awe

So begins an odyssey
Of unity and accord
It moderates and mediates
Appreciates and accepts
Meshing and marrying
With attentiveness and awe

The hold can be peaceful
When united unabridged
The spirit free to rise
Gingerly and genuine
Gleaming and glimmering
With abatement and awe

Loving every facet
Proceeds the dawn of self
Rigged to ride the sway and spray
Adept and attuned
Soaring and sailing
With holistic harmony
