A Ship, a Boat and the Wave

As i look from the shore
An incredible sight
A wave so long
Off tremendous height

Two vessels,
A ship, and a boat
While the ship sinks
The boat floats

Soon to be engulfed
By this awesome wave
With a mass like this
No one will be saved

For in the clouds
Warriors and sailors look down
To share their terror
Witnessing their drown

Time passes
Watery theatre calms
As hours before
Water masses slammed

Our powerful oceans
And formidable seas
Engulf more souls
Ignoring their pleas

To drift and decay
Roaming and beached
The might of our water mass
Will never be preached
