Storm
As night became day
Stars dimmed ,
then faded away
The sea, tinged with white spray
Welcomed the dawn sky
The red in the east
Brought in the beginning,
of a stormy day
The wind rose
Storm clouds gathered on the horizon
The suns' hazy glow
Lost in grey tumbling clouds
A ships' gleaming wetness shone
The waves grew higher
The wind tore through
A ships captain, on the deck
Such beautiful nature too
The suns' hazy glow
Could be seen
Between
Scudding clouds
Roaring wind
Gunmetal sea
Rising so
Running before the wind
The ship ploughed on
Masts and spars whistling
Such gleaming wetness
Felt upon your face
The exhilaration!
The running race
The sums' hazy glow
Of a wind roaring
The spray on your face
White capped gunmetal sea
Pushing relentlessly
A wooden ship
Gleaming wet
On its' course
Riding the storms' force
