POEM STARTER

Ships in a Bottle
I carried pieces
of me, ships in a bottle,
shattered when let go.
Buried in duty
to helm this horrid day, home
the only true course.
Then sailing onward
the prevailing wind blew west,
in time deep as oceans.
Sun stamped its tempo
in blue above and below,
days and days and days.
Breathing in years on,
remember bottle shattered,
but this ship, rebuilt.
