Thinking about the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and the song Uncharted by Sara Bareilles I wrote this poem.
A heart is like Captain Jack’s compass
Points at where you most desire to be
Mine spins and spins, shifting direction
It slows but never stops long enough follow
The needle spins
Toward the security of solid ground
The needle spins
At freedom of open skies
The needle spins
Your heart is like Jack’s compass
Points at what you desire most
Sometimes this happens to be me
A love that pulls me in like the tide
But my needle spins
Dark sails offer adventure
But my needle spins
The coast guard promises safety
But my needle spins
Their hearts are like Jack’s compass
Tell them where to sail
My needle dangles broken
In perpetual motion, leaving me guessing
