Men & Monsters

In a tiny boat on giant swells,

the home to monsters below,

sits a little man with dreams

enough to fill the deep.

Brave he is for the monsters below

crave dreams uncorrupt.

Their giant tails provoke great waves

and fiery breath heats the sea.

Yet, on he rows.

A steady procession to distant shores.

His dreams are undisturbed,

safe in his heart on his tiny boat.

The question now arises, much like the looming tide: should one fear the monsters or the one who fears them not?
