Storm At Sea

CRASHING waves... SMASHING seas... Bringing sailors to their knees. As they struggle to save their lives Hoping and praying, help arrives. The stormy seas as dark as coal, Preventing the sailors from reaching their goal. Battered and bruised, but still they fight... Staring ahead, into the dead of night. Rocking and rolling as they try to stand... Hoping against hope, that they soon reach land. Bleary eyed from lack of sleep. Down in their cabins, huddled like sheep. As they're rocking and rolling down beneath Weary sailors above, resist with gritted teeth. hours later, as the storm starts to dissipate, It leaves a calm tranquil sea in it wake. The veteran sailors know the battle is over, and they have won... As they contemplate, other storms yet to come...
