Sea

Samuel saw her screaming for help in the sea.
Esta failed to save her friend  who was drowning 
And some people could make fun of the victims. 

Two brave men by  the seashore  jumped Into the sea
to rescue them, as they were in the harzardous
zone  of  sharks and some dangerous reptiles. 
They succeeded to bring  them to the  seaside 
and managed to organize some hot coffee
 and tea for them in few minutes. 

Esta and her friend thanked Samuel and his friend
for assisting them when some other people wished 
their death into clear blue water. 
Their friendships turned into love  after some weeks. 
Samuel came to love Esta so much and they decided 
to live togather as wife and husband. 

So their  parents met to discuss about the dowry.
Everything was concluded according to their culture
and traditions,  then they married  traditionally.
so their dream of living together fulfilled. 
A year later , they got a male child and named 
him" Remembrance." 
To express how he got a wife of his choice
 through assisting some desperate women in the Sea.

I agree Alfonso. Metaphors are interpretive. Real life is expressive.

Thanks Linda... Living on earth , Seeing things from different Angles, Writing and Understanding them diffently, Some people prefer methaphoric speeches for their personal reasons , Readers suffer to see the hidden truth in the speeches, Dictionaries fail to discover methaphoric spoken or written words, Life goes on. Thank you so much for your most understandings ... poets.
