Arrows drown the sea
The defiant sky mumbles
Displays of forks are seen
The pained earth grumbles
Loud whispers orchestrate the waves:
Some sit idly
Some dance wildly
And some read violently
The storm brews a mess,
But it does not bother
This man on wood and steel
Who was a sailor like no other
His transport, propelled by love
He dared to smash the border
To prove his noble intentions
He pushed the ship harder
Tides of misfortune
Crash against the hull
But he trudges on
As icy cold wind pierces his skull
Discouragement lashes like the gust
It shakes the sea violently
Titlting the boat hard
He grips the rails firmly
The ship rages and batters
His ship, a man in tatters
Mercy he seeks
And in a blink, the storm scatters
Happiness seizes control
Dethroning fear in his heart
Realization pushes it aside
And sadness engulfs and leers like a dart
The woman he pursued
Whom he showed that he can
Offer love like a mother,
Was already with another man.
