Devil Gale Nor'Easter

DEVIL GALE NOR'EASTER Relinquishing my right to being sane, tis none-the-less God given to my brain, the very hope, while on this restless sea, so into dark, and where a gale must be, I'll stay my course, into the driving rain; into the howling wind; into the night, through white caps higher than my line of sight, the bellowing less than two fathoms mark, close to the bottoming to Neptune's dark, but I must steer my ship, to what is right! Though I may know the brine is shallow here, along the coast, and know the rocks are there, to dare my vessel, have a pleasant trip! up devil's shore, they hope to dash my ship and sink me to the depths, to disappear. Blow hard! Nor'easter! You'll not put me down! My ship is fit, I've heard your dying sound! Now I can see the rising of the sun, in streaks of light, predicting you are done! And I have sailed this night to solid ground! © ron wilson aka Cap'n Vee Bdosa
