Set Sail

Upon this beach I stand, 
    rolling waves upon shingles, 
        bubbly, sinewy, and carefree.     
            Chilly water trickling at my feet. 
                My sleeves billowing in the cool sea breeze.
 
The horizon as far as the eyes can see,
    offers no boundaries to what one can achieve. 
       Yet, here we abide, beside tempestous water's edge
          Wanting, hopeful, and yet fearful of venturing ahead 
             Can the seas be conquered? Can the ocean be tamed? Who will know?

Yet without trying, without setting sail, how can we ascertain
    that our dreams are for real ? So I beseech you, to dawdle no longer. 
       Hesitate not, and go forth, until you have reach earth's far reaching ends.
          Until your dreams have been attained, til you can rest assure you have not lived in vain.
             Go forth sailor, your body's your vessel, your heart's a steering wheel, embark and set sail.
