Kai Aku
Keeling upon the open sea
A moving mountain majesty,
is colossal water’s slow roll ~
To stars, I pray for land to stroll …
As confused waves begin to toss,
keeping sane where vertigo’s boss,
under fear's fold, it’s Neptune’s call…
To depths, I pray to end this gall ~
Kraken-wind unfurls mighty arms
as sails heave-to, trying to calm
It steers while we wait our bell’s toll ~
To steel, I pray strength doesn’t pall…
As tentacles release their hold,
knaves of blue-bottles float by, bold!
Unto such vast numbers, don’t fall ~
To sun, I pray for land to stroll…
