The Cradle in the Sea
I spotted an object from afar it was drifting towards the east
And the ocean current was flowing towards me and I could feel the pull of something bigger than me extracting my energy, and for a brief moment my whole body was heavy as lead and I felt as if I was dead, my breathing stopped suddenly but my engine was still moving.
Everything was still and I felt my whole body vibrating and water start filling up my mouth and body start sinking slowly into the floor.
I lost consciousness for a while and I couldn’t tell what was happing around me but I know that I was stuck in the middle of the sea and no one was locking out for me, but I felt something poking my side it was a signal that I was still alive .
A tug boat came to rescue me, and with one jerk daylight breaks through the roof and my body was back in tune and the dream quickly fades into the sun, and the morning was on the run.
I stood at the window and capture it all, the universe
was embroiled in a terrible brawl, the temperature
Was rising and the ice was melting and the soldiers began to march along the shores, the heat was so strong that it split
iceberg and toss it around and the people began to fear.
Oh what silence lies in the bottom of the sea, it is slowly moving
towards thee, it is floating with the waves and the current is it. From whence did it come? It is not a game; a familiar sound is moving it with the waves but only destiny knows where it will land.
A cradle is sailing in the expanse of the sea and it is coming to rescue you and me, put on your shoes and gathers the baits and make your way to the shore before half past eight. This time you will get the well-deserved break and you must not be late
There is a cradle floating in the distant sea and it has glad-tidings for thee.
