Waves against aged wood, crashing

Buckets after buckets of water filling 

Hands clawing at windows, thrashing

Close the sail and batten down the hatches


Trying to escape through locked doors, smashing

Rowing fast in the chilling water

Red lights on the sea for help, flashing

Biting air making blood run cold


Frantic hands swimming in the water, splashing

Inky night takes away light and life with it

Blue lips and purple fingertips grasping

 Left still and breathless in the wreak.
