Poem
On a fine April day, set out in the great cruise ship, Titanic, Into the pelagic waters of Atlantic, with the weather alluringly sweet. Plush it was with beaming fellow travelers and amenities astounding. A journey of great excitement under a star-studded sky at night. With the crew so hospitable, there was overwhelming warmth and conviviality. Wine and liquor flowed down through gullets; tasty cuisines were served. On the deck couples and lovers waltzed, a sweet breeze kissing their cheeks. But tragedy loomed large in the form of an iceberg, unobserved. I sat away from the crowd enjoying the rising gaiety. What was the deafening sound I heard from near? With a violent shake, the huge leviathan turned to one side. Hardly knew what was happening, but sensed death was not far. Hit hard n' ripped into two pieces, the vessel began sinking into the waters. Amid euphonic melody and revelry, some didn’t know what was happening. Some in panic ran helter skelter with growls and groans renting the air. A man gave away his lifeboat to a mother and child, his own life abandoning. It was a moment I witnessed the beauty of selfless love. I was inspired to give away my lifeboat that I secured by chance. A divine spark hit me, and all anxieties vanished instantly. Sudden was the transmutation, I saw the whole scene in a new stance. Heaven’s fire was lit in my breast and in love, my spirit began to glow, How great it is to give life to someone who needed it more. I heard the angel’s voices flit, saw a new door opening wide. Had a fleeting vision of the heavenly hall with aureate roof and glazed floor. I knew all my agony depart and hope instantly sparking. With God on my side, I felt sinking into the icy depth, My mind was calm with an unusual courage filling my every nerve, And my horizon growing bigger and enlarging into uncommon width. My inaudible parting words were “Goodbye Titanic, fare thee well, In the oceanic depths, you stay as a symbol of world’s fleeting glory, Making men think that fate can shatter and pulverize human hubris. In the sunless Atlantic lair, lie down ageless to tell your allegorical story"!
