Corsair

Today’s word: Corsair: a pirate or a pirate ship.  All hope abandon, ye who enter here. A far cry from one’s spirituality … or maybe not.

Anchored

Evils assail the world around,

Like corsairs on the sea,

Hunting those exposed abroad

or protected in the lee.

There’s nowhere safe for innocents,

No hiding place or cove,

No cave or fortress large enough

For the fear-full or the bold.

But, for those who bear the flame,

Of love’s fierce candle bright,

Hope lies in deeds of sacrifice

That bring the truth to light.
