Lost World

Lost World


             Wayward ships lost in stormy seas
              Oceans of emptiness begging please
              Ripples of tides in various degrees
              Liquid cooled blue Icelandic freeze
              Desperate land watered down trees

               Capsized cruise on a beach unknown
               Reality sets in now left all alone
               Unseen distances of sand and stone
               Island so empty with green overtones
               Skeleton ship full of broken bones
               Embracing life a castaways new home
