Titanic

A stranger on a distant shore
Sailing, a tall tower along the 
trembles, of an open sea
I look and see with vision and 
wonder, where my destiny partakes
A traveler of a vessel, in the distance 
glory
I jump, I leap, breathing in the salty 
air
Wind flowing gently along my face
Embraced with laughter, we gather 
to dance and sing
The night chilled air brings a sense 
of melancholy
An echantment of sorts disturbes 
the embarkment, of my sense of 
security
A stillness falls into my heart,as it 
starts to beat faster
An essence of sadness emanates 
withen my soul
I look up at the nights sky seeing 
spirit take flight
I look to others
We breathe together
We embrace each other as we cry
We all fly to the heavens golden 
glory 
Under the darkened sea
