Into the Unknown

The boat
Into the unknown
Sways quietly
Rocks silently
In the storm
He lies sleeping
Dreaming
While his companions
Panic and cry
We shall all die
They awaken him
Into the unknown
Calmly he speaks
The boat
Sways silently
The dreaming not forgotten
But enacted
Into the unknown
Now named
And known
