Man, O Shipwreck - Attalus

always searching never finding.

growing colder every mile.

life a thread that keeps unwinding on this unforgiving isle.

man o vessel lost and stranded.

how you’ve lost your innocence.

look at yourself — understand it.

you’ve been shipwrecked ever since.

shadows fall as waters rise in.

this a cruel calamity.

silhouettes on the horizon.

shadows of humanity.

man o ship without a captain.

who will clean up the debris?

look at yourself — see what happened.

Justice saw your mutiny.

but shattered sails still have their glory.

beautiful though broken art.

scattered on the rocks a story.

fragments of an Author’s heart.

man o shipwreck on the high seas.

look at yourself — see what I see.

all the things you could have been.

man o shipwreck on the high seas.

look at yourself — see what I see.

all the things you could be again.
