It’s a tale of the storm and the sea
the sails ripped apart
on a feathery boat
they ride the waves
soaking in the spumes
tired eyes glinting in the sun
focussing
on a shore far away
they have to reach
before they die.

Intriguing and alluding to more than is made apparent in the poem itself,”The Voyage” strikes me as a precursor to a longer narrative. The storm and the sea and the faraway shore recur throughout fables and legends, most notably The Odyssey and The Chronicles of Narnia.
Yes, the stormy sea and the faraway shore do recur in legends myths and sagas. I have used it as a symbol for the journey of life. Thank you very much Louis Kasatkin for your well-observed comment.
I did mean to allude to many meanings in the poem and am so happy you could see them.
Thank you.
