The Shipyard
Suicide is cowardly.
Fraudulence is naive.
Happiness is just a by-product.
And violence is complete.
It brings to light the question, that ever frivolous question. β One locked without a key.
If you are really planning to challenge yourself, what are you planning to achieve?
This boat rocks coarse waters, runs silky smooth sand, rides high on 7 seas.
Yet the journey lasts for as long as one makes it.
The destination β unperceived.
For how can someone perceive an endpoint, in which they had no motive to achieve?
A soulless, pointless journey, in an uncontrolled path, to a destination unknown.
Adrift in the ocean β Alone in the sea.
Yet whilst floating on my raft.
I feel a sense of purpose. Β Itβs not as worthless as it seems.
But Iβm only as strong as the oar in my hand.
And the breeze Iβm provided by the powers that be.
So, in my conceptual isolation.
In my viewpoint of the world.
Iβm as happy as a fisherman.
And So to it β I am free.

Over all, I like the message you put forward here. We are all adrift on a great, mighty ocean called life. Surving, if we are lucky, its storms. BUT I have to disagree with you with certain points ... suicide is NOT cowardly. Suicide is the fatal consequence of a mental health issue. I think it is too easy, and untrue, to think of suicide in such simple terms as cowardice. So, that being said, that first line did disappoint, I'm afraid. BUT, like I said the idea of life being like the ocean, I agree with. Hope you are well Max, good to see you on here again x
Hi Tina! Hope you are well my friend, it's good to come back to Cosmos to see what you guys have been working on. And I agree with you, sometimes, there are cases where cowardice isn't a factor at all, since cowardice suggests weakness in a way I didn't imply. A better word would be selfish. Perhaps I meant it in a personal introspective way. Or I've been watching too much House of Cards. You know; "I will not yield, I will not yield, I will not yield!" Besides, tis an artistic piece not an academic one, though lenient in view, thank you for the read my friend. I hope you are doing well also.
Guess it all comes down to a sense of worth that of value in one's life or reflective esteem perhaps Max.
What is this sea of life and all its flotsam all about, we're all driftwood as we mature, splinter off a once a larger construction where the tides and winds take us.
Life's meaning and purpose-we'll never know on this mortal plane.
But Max, it's good to be free and ponder it .
And look whatΒ poetry arises when doing so.
Hope all is well my friend

Shaun, I agree wholeheartedly, if we did not ponder such thoughts, we would receive no muse. Perhaps I write dark, more than I used too, but I'm still in a safe place. Thank you for backing my corner of the Cosmos. Your comments are reallyΒ appreciated. Hope all is well with you too my friend! Sincerely, Max
