Lost At Sea

Lost At Sea

Out at sea for days on this rickety old raft

A monster of a storm destroyed our old Craft

Weak and dehydrated, baked by the sun

It appears that another round has begun

Thunder rumbles just off the port side

The swells give the raft one heck of a ride

It’s as dark as fourth watch in the middle of the day

Until a flash of lightning drives the dark away

We bound ourselves together in order to survive

The anger of the sea where fearful thoughts derive

Then Hell unleashed a fury like never seen before

Whispering in a squall, you’ll never see the shore

Turning on each other in a fight to stay alive

Preemptive assumptions our hearts did both contrive

In the end it wasn’t the storm that did us in

But the deceitful mistrust of an old friend

Sin caused Cain to hate his own brother

We survived the storm, but lost each other

        A good poem on the surface but in its metaphoric depths it rages. A poem that anyone that has a relationship and has tied themselves to another should take to heart. A definite fave
