Sailing Light

When I set sail, I had reasons for cheers,
I was sailing lightly, with blessings of dears.
The movement was swift, the direction clear,
Even if I toppled, there was nothing to fear. 

I could set sail again, build a stronger boat,
That would carry more weight and for longer float.
I would pick up some friends, together we'll cruise,
Having a whale of a time, in adventure's ruse.
 
Slowly but surely, my boat became a ship,
The cargo increased and the friends went for a dip.  
Now its loaded to the brim, sagging with gold,
I've finally arrived, and my tales will be told.

Shipwrecked on an island, I'm braving it out,
Fragmented without redemption, one step from a rout?
