Into The Blue

Bowing to the mighty ocean Relentless is her pull, Into the blue depths 'Til she's good and full Ice took it's first shot As steady we ran right in, Sailing along so freely As a whale on his fin Crashing, just scraping by Then onto a dead stop, I write this letter now While I sit safe atop The iron walls creak The frigid waters seep, Tilting the floorboards and The last tears I weep A message in a bottle Dropped into the blue, Do pardon my absence... I shall not be joining you.
