Shipwrecked - An Inspirational Poem on Your True Essence

A storm has wrecked your ship,
but the shore is near.

Let the waves draw you in,
and wash a new “you” out.

Why ride this vessel
called a body,
when who you really are
is a soul untethered?

You have conquered
the seven seas,
and yet
a tiny island
delights you.

Cast away
from your essence,
this world
seems all.

But turn back
to the ocean,
for comfort’s cage
will trap your Soul.

You are the ocean
if you only knew.

You are Heaven’s endless rain,
so why run for cover?

You breathe the winds
of east and west,
no gale can ever take you.

O wanderer!
If you only knew the world
that awaits you,
you’d leave this broken ship
behind.

For unripe minds
will never grasp
the joy of being
shipwrecked.
