Some glide along a smooth path
floating along without mirrors or water
under the masted will of breezy air
while Destiny draws closer
Some notice themselves in shadows
outlining the mark of forward and aft
while Destiny draws closer
starboard, a siren caught your name
Some feel their own gravity pulling
while Destiny draws closer
plunging its authoritative weight
swayed by promising warm fronts
While destiny draws closer
taken in trickles and torrents still
Some remain lost at sea, adrift
serendipity filling the mast.
