He stands by the rail
Staring out at the expanse of ocean
Contemplating the depth of humanity’s tale
The ripples we each set in motion
These temporary swells
That disappear into the vast calm sea
Are as the greetings and farewells
Of a moment with eternity
The water's ebb and flow
Forced aside by his journey's advance
Tell of distant shores where waves will show
The impact of their passage's dance
For though we live for a moment's breath
And pass quietly through with no commotion
The effects we leave long after our death
Are a testament to our love and devotion
