Ark Raft Wreck

Seeing the darkened clouds accumilate I spy through my mind's eye And feel the stormy winds acidic rain sting all about my naked face And hasten hastenly to build myself an ark / raft fit purpose bespoke for wrecking Using any material disposable close to hand i can possibly find So none the less i can sail away above the crashing tidal wave of black foam pushing back And stand aboard the deck i cobbled out of adams brittle fractured missing rib bone Scouting the horizon for the 1st sign Of a glacier or dry land in order to beech dock this vessel and step my feet ashore And so anoint myself King for the day and evermore Purveyor of everything i see before me 1 sole property proprietor In order to start and begin the long hard process and rebuilding again Armed only with what the storm has left behind in it's wake

You create a quiet brilliant poem here Christopher with Old Testament imagery, getting ready for the next biblical flood, may not be as fantastic as it seems, at least one of us will be ready to repopulate the earth, cheers David
