Sails fully billowed
#Embark on an adventure
Open seas await

I often think of the passengers whose names were called on our flight to Spain. They’d failed to #embark the plane.

What happened between check-in & boarding? Did they fall ill? Get bad news?

I prefer to imagine they were just in the airport bar, so happy-drunk they didn’t need a holiday. #vss365

"Why does everyone look so pensive? We're about to #embark on an adventure!" Kae grinned as they stood in front of the chasm awaiting them. Rowan shook her head and headed into the cave first, torch held high.
Elena paused in front of Thos. "He starts singing, let's leave him down there."

Expulsion from Earth, usually following a personal or even a societal #crisis, means from then #hence you'll be living on Borax 8. You have no choice but to #embark on this voyage. There is nowhere else. Just be aware: cultural integration demands that you grow #fur.

Ready to #embark
On all the future offers
But watch that first step

Just another equinox

Brit didn’t want to #embark on a cold trek home in this storm. So she draped a fleece over her shoulders and a silver blanket on her knees, and decided to wait it out. But she couldn’t sleep. She knew the creatures that danced with the snow flakes and some were dangerous #vss365

The twenty twenty-six vernal equinox
Carried with it some kind of magical box
Inside was enchanted door
To embark to distant shore
Landing: a fanciful place with no clocks

The words will disappear when the electricity runs out.

I'd whisper, let the secret #embark on a journey into space, allow it an existence somewhere, forever.

But that's only a myth. Sound converts to thermal energy, and everything in the universe grows cold in the end.

Here’s my response to the prompt #embark - thanks to our host of #vss365 Whispers @whisperingpoems.bsky.social

The painting is ‘Coign of Vantage’ (1895) by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1895-1912)

Amos tapped keys and a hatch started to open. Brenda was testing the rotation speed of her multi-barrel assault rifle and grabbed a heavy handgun as he left armoury. Lisa’s chassis leaned low to get out of the room without breaking the wall. “ #Embark in six, five, four …” #vss365

“ #Embark in five. Stormwing is powering up.” Amos said and unlocked the armoury. Brenda tore into the gear and was in an armour in a minute and stocking for ammo in the next. Lisa slipped into the burly battle chassis and flexed the battle claws before folding them in. #vss365

Every day, the infamous carpet snake will #embark on a new adventure.
What furniture will it destroy today?
What non-edible will it try to eat?
Which plant will it dig out from its pot?
The possibilities are endless...
