🌊 THE FOG OF TITAN 🌊

In a sea of reasoning,

I put down my hat.

In fact, if the ship sets sail

And we reach the shining shores

I’d like to explore, our heart

And take part in an ancient dance,

The trance of vulnerability.

Truth literally takes my breath away.

So I say a prayer and remember

The choices and the voices along the way.

Thank you, friend, I’ll always remember when

You took my hand and recommended

Patience, benevolence, righteousness,

Propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness.

The virtues — that is an ambition mixed with bliss.

When they stand with me, I see the horizon.

I become more wise in the fog — the fog of Titan.
