The Pirate's Calling

Inspired from the famous Anime "One Piece"

Across the boundless ocean wide,
Our vessel cuts the turquoise tide.
With seagulls crying, high above,
A song of freedom, born of love.
No charted course, no final port,
Just open waves, our wild resort.

With canvas stretched, and rigging strained,
A dream, by every heart attained.
We stand as one, against the blue,
A shared ambition, strong and true.
The harbor lights fade in the spray,
Our hometown whispers, far away.
A past released, like sails unfurled,
To claim our future, rule the world.

With barrels lifted, frothing white,
We toast the dawn, we own the night!
Through tempest's fury, dark and deep,
Where giant waves intensely leap.
The deck it pitches, hard and fast,
A challenge meant for us to last.
No turning back, no fear we hold,
A story waiting to unfold.

For dreams are forged in wind and spray,
They fight the night, they claim the day.
This pirate's life, the grandest prize,
Reflected in our hopeful eyes.



Could you offer your candid thoughts on this piece? It's been in editing limbo for years, and I'm unsure what to make of it after countless revisions.
The Original writing was named (Pirates) you can find it in my portfolio.
