A poem about one who explores altered states of consciousness to expand their mind.
Sailor of the mind and soul
On oceans grey and white
Will you ever come ashore
And share your guiding light?

Sacrificing at the altar
You call upon mystical winds
To push you ever onward

As you ride rough brainwaves in
The Sea of Endless Thought
We hope that you don’t lose your way
Our daring Psychonaut

Braving mental tempests
You search for that final frontier
The sea only grows wider

You search to find safe harbor on
The ever-shifting sand
You drop your anchor for awhile
But never truly land

Gliding on psychotropic waters
You drift towards infinite sunset
Always just out of reach

Sailor of the mind and soul
On oceans grey and white
Will you ever come ashore
And share your guiding light?
