1
A vessel and so much more, a part of him,
glyphs written in His ship’s surface, its skin,
filling empty space, nothing left uncovered,
Words, a prayer of conquest, of sending.
2
A kiss of kinship, of His people, their leaders,
voyaging beyond, into the unknown, the infinite,
weighing anchor, going, traveling, the void,
Crossing celestial planes, eternal seas.
3
Speak truth to us, the mystery, reveal to us,
You know the name of the Traveler,
don't you, you know these markings,
Their meaning, their gravity, their power.
4
What was written about Him in the scrolls,
on the stele, in our history, ancient time,
this image, the symbol, the secrets,
Written on the Traveler's hand…
5
His vessel, his ship, his voyage, his quest,
(I can see Him standing, resolute on the bridge),
harkens back to Captain Nemo, to Verne’s epic,
Drawing us to the Nautilus, frozen in memory.
6
His voyage of discovery, uncharted,
silently exploring, the earth, the oceans,
uncovering mysteries of the deep,
In many ways, a far simpler quest.
7
Ancient words were written, a message,
of His sending, of His destiny, of his mission,
the Promised that was to come, a prayer,
Coming, returning across the galaxies.
8
Across time and space, the void,
a savior, a messenger, a herald,
a name of life, eternity, protection,
Traveler now beckons to everyone...
9
Here He is, as was prophesied, foretold,
a prayer of our people, of history, of time,
now in the void, beyond the heavens,
A vessel, a Traveler, across time and space.
10
Upon the bridge, the helm, standing,
standing resolute, righteous, journeying,
beautiful, powerful, the union of His body,
The vessel, the Traveler, an ancient one.
11
Our prayer, our common longing, unrequited,
so long dormant, waiting, forgotten,
our hopes for this moment, this epiphany,
Many generations in history, our ancient past.
12
Alive now with us, coming, arriving,
a quickening in the heavens, returning,
crossing other oceans, other worlds
To anchor on these shores again.
13
Mysteries come with Him, carrying,
secrets melted to Him, the Traveler,
glyphs carried with Him, a part of Him -
How I wish I could read them all.
14
What other stories will they reveal,
across the galaxies, the markings, our history,
the watery world beyond, immersed,
Alive beyond the pool of Earth…
