On the Crest of a Wave

        Life boat totters on the crest of a wave
      of turbulence ! Me lone sailor on sea.
     To reach destination, propelling brave.
     Halcyon horizon not yet to see.
     
     Violent vibrant vortex, rough and tough
    Life boat totters on the crest of a wave,
     falls unstable sinking at hole of trough.
     Up down thrust of waves convex and concave.

     Tornado - cyclone hostile to behave.
     Indigo hued horizon too far.
    Life boat totters on the crest of a wave.
     Me desperate to sail, chasing despair.

      Valiant, valorous on adventure !
     I must vanquish holocaust and save
     the vessel from sudden burst and rupture.
     Life boat  totters on  the crest of a wave.
