In the moon light,
Above the waves
The shadowed boat
Bobbed and swayed
No screams, no shouts,
The wave loomed high,
Not even a whisper,
No sound of a cry
A bellow, a haunt,
The sound to your ears,
It creaked and crumbled
And even cracked tears
The wave loomed high,
Then underwent the tip
Under for seconds
Then down went the ship
The wind ripped past ears
Racing hearts
As the ship and its people
Were swept far apart
Under the waves
All was not calm
As heads slowly under
Filled with alarm
Not with the urge
To scream and to shout,
But with the urge
To hug and call out
The kayos, it rained
Through hearts and through heads
And the crystallised substance
Surrounded their necks
They tumbled and turned
Through midnight blue waves
As I, the sea
Had made them all slaves
I thought on adventures
And times in the night
How I could enrage
Then calm people’s fright
And whilst they had,
But few seconds to breathe
I there master,
was sad they would leave
