We never saw it coming
I open up a line in the sea to see how far destiny would lead me, and I learn that the ocean will never run dry as long as the heaven exist above the skies; some people arrive too late and they took a long time to go through the gate but the wisdom of the sea kept beckoning to me, telling me that it is time to go, before the current rise and twist our boats into the sky. We never saw it coming and so we continue to enjoy modern living, but little did we know that things would change when the giant wave came. We didn’t hear it; we didn't see it coming and there was no warning hymn. We were cruising on our private boat when a shark snatched at my companion’s throat, but a giant wave came out of nowhere and sucks up everything that the ocean bears. Our boat was lost but we held on tightly to the cross as the mad waves heave our boat up into the air and for one moment the universe stood in front of us like a sea monster, barking and raging in the sea and spitting out venom at thee. I searched everywhere but my companion wasn’t there. All I saw were pieces of the boat drifting with a piece of his clothes, and I could hear the souls crying out to me to come and rescue thee, but you were not there and my heart began to fear; and the relics of the boat kept afloat. I kept watching it until it was way out to sight and I could hear the soul cries as their spirit dies.
