While the Sail Danced Her Dance

Tales of returning
On a cold winter's day,
With the sails in shreds
Dancing every which way,

Total despair,
Knowing numbered were her days,
Looking on her life
Through a rain-like haze.

A madman driver 
Hollering in Tomahawk style,
Gray epic waters,
A sea-going child,

As far as the eye could see,
Huddled figures
Dressed in nautical
Style.

One once a
Scintillating starlet
With many eager fans,
Clutching at a rope,

With cold-bruised hands,
Huddled there,
While the sail 
Danced her dance.
