Odysseus
by Mike Gallimore
copyright 05-03-2008


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
I am sailing on the Southern Ocean
Beneath a canopy of stars.
I am a sailor, and I’m a warrior,
Homeward bound now from the wars.

I heard no sirens, fought no monsters
On this modern odyssey;
But I am weary from my journeys
And my life upon the sea.

I am sailing on the Southern Ocean;
I am following the stars.
I am a sailor, and I’m a poet,
Heading home, beneath the stars.

And my shipmates, they are my family;
We stand together every day.
We are young ones, we are old ones,
We are standing in harm’s way.

We are sailing on the Southern Ocean;
We are flying stripes and stars.
We are sailors, and we are brothers,
Going home now from the wars.

I have children, I have not seen them
Since I took myself to sea.
In my dreams I see their mother,
She is reaching out for me.

I am sailing on the Southern Ocean,
Looking for my falling star.
I am a sailor, and I’m a dreamer,
Homeward bound now from the war.

Homeward bound now from the war.

This is one I'll read more than once. Homeric and contemporary applications I find, but more: the pen crafting a work which beguiles the reader and entrances the mind with it's gentle rhythm and near epic flow. Excellent imagery and choice of words along with a very skillfully crafted texture. This was quite a pleasurable read, filled with images and thoughts. ^^
