Lonely Sailor
Blue star in the night sky, Frosty winds with clouds floating by. Black Sea turning fierce and grim, Peeping moon behind clouds getting dim. Crumpled reflection down upon rippled waves, Surrounded by mountains and black caves. Small boat far in the distance rides, On the strong waves as it dances with the tides. A Thin frail sailor with one broken ore, Given up on life and can’t endure anymore. With fearful, frightened eyes, In the distance a rough stone arch he spies. Swiftly getting ushered towards the cave, With waves pushing the boat, refusing to behave. The Lonely sailor with his last burned cigarette, Awaiting his eventual fate, that he had not met yet. Death shining brighter than life, Losing all his might and strife. He eagerly awaits his dark fate into the deep abyss, eventually moving with the strong current as he gets swept away into the darkness. - Sanaya
