Tempest In the Sea

Blue
                                                      Ocean 
                                               Waves crashes
                                            In the shore rocks
                               Preambling, imminent storm in the sky
                                 Fishes are jumping out of the water
                                               Serving as bait
                                                  For hungry
                                                   Seagulls 
                                                     Flock
                                                       A
                                                    Sailor 
                                                Is fighting
                                             To preserve life
                         Sailing his wood boat toward the beachshore
