Solemn Bay

solemn bay
falling teardrops like rain
              from grey clouds of bane 
 thunder rolls across the soulless bay
lightning strikes a hearts shudder
                                                   down 
                                   down
                       down
sinks the pleasure tide
                                  a place where
          destressed waves toss and turn
against the up and down 
                                        the to and fro
chaos lurks
               then shouts out to have its say

              solemn bay
                                  a place where
     ships become shipwrecks

  tighter
           tighter 
            twists the sailors knots
till they become tattered and frayed

treasure sinks to a mighty depth  
                                          then
into the abyss drowns silver and gold

solemn bay
                        a place where
     out of the gloom birds fly by 
singing a cheerless nighttime song
                      where
      a blackbird sings along

solemn bay
                 a place where
dreams of a warming sun
                       is a reality of cold and grey
and out of the hollow the hurricane blows
a frenzy chaos of confusion
                       coming up from the undertow
