Very powerful poem, subtle, deep. I particularly find the following lines thought provoking:
Say what you mean at last.
Finality brings sought freedom.
Your write evokes many thoughts of life, death, values, meaning. I love it. Glad the Titanic is still there, in our hearts.

A great tribute to the Titanic, this majestic ship that may cross the ocean and was fatal destination.
I love the message you type in the notes also to accept help and accept the fate.
congratulations.

Victor - the "ast" words do a good job of tying all your verses together. The sinking of the Titanic has so many lessons to teach us, and your poem adds to the voices that have found meaning in this tragedy. Brooke

An interesting take on the sinking of the Titanic.
Yes, it can be a metaphor for all of our lives.
I especially appreciated:And when the ocean's crossed,
whether steerage or the boss,
we'll steep no waves tomorrow.
And when the descent does come,
we'll gently drift and wander.
Feathers come to rest
upon the silent floor.
Ah, I do believe,
our graves at last.

Comment from Janine Ellis-Fynn
This is a beautiful, tragic and haunting poem about a sad event that is close to my heart. I loved the movie, but I don't think it truly did it justice. Very well written poem. Good job!

Remembering the past, taking the side of all those that die in that terrible nigh, some of them innocent victims, some others prey of their own arrogance, challenging God, they were drag, to reality.

Victor, you start off with such a wonderful usage of that old sailing term, 'standing before the wind'. The image which tops this poem shows what a huge 'sail' this ship made. I have experience of much smaller boats trying to beat offshore into the wind ... needs a mighty strong engine! So, your first line clearly demonstrates the sheer majesty of that Lady.
The way you then lead us, so gracefully, to our deathbeds is as majestic as said ship. Congratulations on a stunning piece of work. Pat.

The loneliness and the deep hidden bleakness of a human soul is depicted.It moves the soul and makes you feel the emotion the author has felt.Full of pain yet trust and true belief in god.

Very well done. Through the metaphor of the great ship, once thought invincible, you wove a wonderful poem about fate. This read very well - the older English touch worked well.
