Voyage Of Discovery: March 2020 Poem by DM W

Now I've extricated myself from all
Petty tribal longings, creeds and doctrines;
And created a new sense of selfhood,
I'll set sail in my imagination
And hope that the winds of fortune are kind.
I seek sumptuous, undiscovered realms
In the farthest oceans of time and space.
Beyond the scope of wounded centuries.
Beyond the reach of familiar worlds.
It will be a toilsome journey via
Seemingly endless darkness towards light.
It might break me, but I vow to return.
With poetic treasures beyond belief:
That will heal and redeem the heart and soul.
