A Storm In Life
The sun was high, the big lake flat
Her brow she hid by brim of hat
With smile and eyes reflecting bright,
she rigged and sailed dawn till night
A crag-less bottom there did sound,
by hurt or sorrow she was not bound
One night she slept and when she woke
storm clouds churned, the sky they choked
The waves did rise to rolling swells
The roiling depths exposed to tell,
betrayal of her had come to light
The past erased in one dark night
For whom she'd loved through fog and mist
was not on board, but gone adrift
As inky skies unleashed their might
her mind and soul entrenched in fight
When winds increased to strength of gale
her heart was torn, as canvas sail
The crest did rage with violent force
Great waves of sorrow without remorse.
All storms must ebb as this one did
She turned the tide, her hurt she rid
With weather fair and skies aclear
she sails to beaches far and near
The storm did lay upon the sand,
an agate held now in her hand-a man
