Farewell, Titanic

Water filled each cleft and crevice; unease within you grew. Though physically brave, I couldn't withstand the strong wave. I felt, yet, in the end, contentment with saving a few No lifebuoys left; am I pushed to the brink of my grave? This sea, though I'm within her waves now, isn't my stranger. Hadn't I spent my mammoth life on her thrill-bubbling shores? Won't she, at these troubled times, save me from every danger? Though once she smashed my sand forts, will she wreck my heart's cores? Isn't my death, yet, shifting from one shore to another? Isn't plunging into the whirlpools part of this process? Though those whose hands I held to save their own lives don't bother Towards a valorous voyage, may my sound soul progress. Farewell, O Titanic; you'd been sheltering me for long. Leave me now; that I reach the divine shrines where I belong.

This is such an outstanding sonnet of which I admire so much. Beautifully composed, deep (as the ocean itself) reflective.The very sad story of the sinking of The Titanic has been so well depicted here and your skilled lines draw the reader into the devastating scene and how one must have felt. ‘though I’m within her waves now’ - I absolutely love! This is truly a wonderful poem that I just had to read several times. The last line in particular, so profound and equally poignant. Loved it!
