Asea and Going Down

         Asea and Going Down

I know that some folk will think me a fool
Setting a direct course for this whirlpool
Not just to be tugged but brazenly to enter
The waves spiraling around its deep center

My comrades shouting insufficient deterrent
En route to this phenomenal undercurrent
I'm drawn enchantingly by feelings heady
Into an inarguably irresistible eddie

Purposefully riding to exult in its glory
Possibly becoming just another sailor story
Of recklessness to charge without even slowing
But this one is worth the trip, I go in knowing
