Poem Portrayal Analysis: “A Voyage”- Lang Leav
"A Voyage"
To be guided
nor misguided
in love,
nor brokenhearted.
But to sail in waters
uncharted.
-Lang Leav
In the poem extended metaphor poem “A Voyage”, although
there are risks, Lang Leav passionately emphasizes for the essentialness to
journey through life by walking and expanding the meaning of love despite risks.
In the first set of stanzas “To be guided nor misguided in love, nor
brokenhearted,” Lang Leav indirectly implies to let love lead a path in one’s
voyage, one’s life. Leav manifests an impassioned atmosphere of hope and
guidance through the lines “to be guided nor misguided…, nor brokenhearted”,
creating an interpretation of love having an essence of optimism. Lang Leav
reveals love as a guide.
In the separated lines of the first stanza the impassioned
determination of not being misled or hurt by love is revealed. Leav considers
the concept and perception that one’s love can only distort by solely the
individual themselves. The breaks of the stanza create a fervent appeal and
effect of love being a guide in “waters uncharted”, unfamiliar ambiance. Therefore
the stanzas, implicitly exposes the love of an individual cannot be taken away
or altered but only guided and navigated.
Within the second stanza “But to sail in waters uncharted”,
a shift of valor is demonstrated as Lang Leav comprehends the risks and reveals
the chances metaphorically as unknown territory. Sailing on open, uncharted
waters gives an appeal of freedom and uncertainty that Leav emphasized in the
last stanza as a final solution for one’s journey; to give love, be free in
that same love, and to expand love in unrecognizable regions. Lang Leav
acknowledges another dimension of love. To
be love is the motivation, implication, and interpretation of Lang Leav’s poem
“A Voyage”.
