Uncharted Rails

Phillip McKnight
Clarity is the past
complacency is defeat
the world is staring blindly
indifferent and incomplete.

Winds of change are mounting
filling empty sails
pointing the vessels bow
toward uncharted rails.

Dreams begin to manifest
enchanting weary eyes
a reminder there are no guarantees
under heaven's skies.

Resting upon the lucid moment
a new calm begins to emerge
having faith in the unknown
the vessel receives a surge.

A steady new course emerges
heeding lessons of the past and the
dawning of a new horizon
finds hope pinned to the mast.
