What Is Under the Waves -Acrostic

Warnings on the shore throw red flags at danger Hail stones make noise on planks in anger Attack the pirate ships that crash the lifeless rocks The ice by now turns into rain but can't turn back It matters not to nature that they came this way Sailors can't see or read the color red from nights mistakes Under the cloak of darkness observations make them blind Nautical naivety is mean to those who have no sight to see Drowning in new depths of ignorance Eager to look the other way as ships collide and break Regardless of what rocks and waves might have to say The land will carry on with mischief Hard objects like rocks and hail don't move alone in storms Even though they take their toll on men and what they own Who tries to walk on water to understand the granite black? At dusk the damage is irrevocable on the rocks Vulnerabilities, agendas, exposed above the surface roll Every ship will have to pay a price when seas arise Silence will be floating among the splinters and debris at night
