Descry

Descry The schooner sailed upon the sea Creating whispered waves below I stood close by the crimson bow In stillness near the quiet dawn with no distractions save for gulls The fore and aft sails moved as kin The sun awoke resplendently Awaiting Neptune and his aides And kissed the ocean with delight An ocean’s shimmer with a light A tremor stirred to my surprise Distress entangled in my heart A shape arose immense and huge Leviathan monstrous in size A monolith with dark blue hues With seconds in its brief repose Creating breakers as it dove My heart retrieved its normal pulse recording sights that I descried A spectacle I’ll ne’er forget Descry Contest Sponsored by Rob Carmack May 30, 2017
