young sailors

when young sailors
set out to ply the seas
on the greatest of
their life's adventures
it rarely comes to mind
to carry trusted maps
of the way safe home

perhaps it's that they
cannot ever know where
that home might prove to be
or it seems more likely
if they knew what lay in store
on those exotic shores
they might not ever venture
beyond their own front doors
