I prayed the gods to change the tide,
Only a
moment required to hit capsize;
Unrelenting
storm and the sails unfold,
No compass
working for destination unknown.
Leap of
faith into the gigantic ripple,
One mistake
and then a cripple;
Hope
permits to gather a breath,
Looming above
is the scythe of death.
Winds
crashing with raining bullets,
Scarce food
and out of pellets;
Edge of
morning when the thundering stops,
Behold the
sight and the anchor drops.
Survived a
story for future to tell,
Bards and
authors sang abridged so swell;
Unforgettable
the emotion of time at sea,
Woke up
from the dream I was sure to see.
