Adrift with me
on a sea of complicated emotions
it’s uncharted territory
We’ve heard there are dangers ahead
we’ve seen the maps
the written messages people have left
warnings of firedrakes and destruction
Yet we forge on
keeping faith in each other
despite the chance of wreckage and ruin
As we sail into the unknown
it’s likely there’ll be dragons
but with the fire we hold inside our hearts
we’ll fight fire with fire
until the very end
Life’s journeys are fraught with dangers and unknowns, never more so than in relationships.
Fun fact: Between the 10th and 17th centuriesthe presence of mythical creatures on maps indicated unexplored or dangerous areas. There’s a common misconception that the phrase ‘here be dragons’ was also used, but this is untrue. The inscription, ‘Here Be Dragons’ isn’t found on maps, simply one globe, the Ostrich Egg Globe.
