A lifetime had passed since we left port,
Cutting like a silent knife meant to kill
Over sea, in this place where the ocean is still
And the passing reflections of the stars distort
As we sail the length of the cosmos’ veil
Though there are stars that light our way
The trail of Polaris, towards whom we sail
Pisces sends us quickly and scatters the spray
Herakles ever ready to rouse for war
Flanked by Sagittarius, the proud centaur
On we rode, when I looked down below
A shape slowly rising as the wind ceased to blow
A beast unseen, but enormous in size
That did not reflect the twilight skies
The mottled lights snuffed out one by one
By the serpent born to eat the sun
It moved not through the oceans tread
But sailed the stars, on wings of dread
Samuel Canerday 
May we overcome the monsters. Inside our being and outside. 🙂 Good one
