O Captain, My Captain Poem


So Terribly I wonder; would I have known

For which those have not wondered, and to

Those who have; Shall receive none-by words have No Meaning

When gracefully Advising Advisors, and Minding Minders.

 

To those I have Thanked, and those Who Will Die,

My heart will Go out To what I have Left,

And Continue To Grow in Distance between Us.

I Thank you, Fear for letting me experience

Disappointment and Hardships

For I have relinquished Effort to explain

Why you are needed to Cultivate.

 

I will Forever be grateful; Experiences I have yet to Describe.

Feelings that Transcend Thoughts, have arisen for

When the Stars align, You shall Appear again, more Glorious than ever,

Awaiting my Return.

This is my Legacy, what I will Leave to those Wondering, and yet to wonder

So innocent I was, The darkness shall cover

Realize Truths

And only then, will I Prosper.
