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 strong message in a bit nicely crafted write, enjoyed the read
Thank You, Tobani. I always look forward to your visit and thoughts. Much appreciated.
You are very welcome
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
Soren, I so look forward to you sharing your thoughts. I appreciate that you picked up on the storm that raged against relationship. Thank you so much for stopping bye.
This poem will stay with me for quite a while 🙏🏻🕊️
