The Boat

As I look upon the darkened skies Clouds so grim I wonder why And as I drift, along the windswept shores Raindrops, remind me, of what is soon to be And the wrath of darkness, soon unleashed Those clouds are heavy, ominous and grey There is no good news coming today And as Irish tales have come to be the clouds all, have been swept to sea There is a ray of sun, breaking through the storm And the day may yet ,please the soul Yet I know deep down, without a doubt I'll get the shaft, and be tossed about

'...I'll get the shaft,' a particularly British expression! Fabulous images and compelling word use. You certainly have a way with setting a scene... Best wishes, Keith
