Description
one ship sails east
and another west
with the self-same winds that blow
as it is the set of the sails
and not the gales
which decides the way to go
like the wind of the sea
are the ways of fate
as they voyage along through life
it is the will of the soul
that decides a goal
and not the calm or the strife
