The lonely helmsman

Pënløãrd 2022 (Ilorin)



On the quiet sea I keep,
Rocking my boat with a,
dolorous heart,
Watching the Earth from afar,
Wondering if I could survive the lonely days on this sea

I'm a caged bird yearning for freedom,
I'm a prisoner of nature
Caged by an unwanted phenomenon
With no hope to withstand its torment.

I'm a hopeless helmsman
Rocking my boat to an unknown  direction,
Without the hope to survive the huge tidal wave at my fore
 *I'm the lonely helmsman*
©️ *Pēnløãrd*
