Sailing Away on a Ghost Ship

If it's the voyage
Of meaning beyond words

You want to know about 

I'd say it's metaphor
And nothing more
How mind may be enticed
Into wordless comparison
Like sailing away
On a ghost ship that

Emerges from the mist

On a dark and wondrous night

From port unknown

And uncaptained

Yet sturdily fashioned

And perfectly suited

For transport to the other side

No matter how soon
It will be forgotten

Upon arrival on 

That distant shore
