Void Depth of Depression

The sun rose in my sky with promise of color,
on the serene sea I had sailed my boat
                          to reach far shore 
                            of the aimed dreams.

In rootless sapling the buds of hope haven’t flowered,
they’ve all died in void depth of depression.
Storm of anguish seizes the mariner, 
the time is running out fast, the sun will set soon.
        
        When at the rough sea my boat wrecks,
        helpless, I ask my god, “Why me”?
                          
                          The chosen one
                            gets peace in pain.
