The reckless diviner: A poem 

There are no steel and stone harbours for his open boat 

In stormy cutting tides, he manages to stay afloat 

His portholes glance steadily with no ifs and buts 

Grit and determination at the helm in his stern’s guts 

The waves of time only stoke his visceral speed 

Every day is the last day for his every deed 

His proud mast can be glimpsed even from the sky 

His utility cover hides no scepticism, he dares to die  

Blood, sweat and tears in his toast of coke and rum 

But there’s always freshness like a breath of chewing gum 

Warnings are a mere token to a wind that is outspoken 

His mettle is unbroken metal, where no fears are awoken 

He ferries through worries and unchartered territories 

Throws care to the breeze; his mission is his life’s lease 

And in the chaos of recklessness is purpose defined 

In the entrails of courage has the future divined
