By Michael W. Raley
I lie adrift in the Ocean of Perpetual Darkness.
Overcast clouds cover the moon.
The North Star has long since burned out.
This compass no longer gives me direction.
The waves bounce me back and forth,
As I try to hold it all down.
All I see is water,
No rescue ships,
No land,
No horizon.
This cannot and will not be my life’s voyage!
I then decide to stage a mutiny
Against the oppression, the passivity, and circumstance.
I am now the Captain.
This is my vessel,
This is my life.
I will set the course.
I will follow my map.
Load the cannons
Because I’m bringing the fight!
Triumphant In Christ
