The Sea

I am the deadly sea As my waves pound away I suggest if you want to sail You pick a peaceful day Don’t try to sail at night Because you may not succeed When I get done with you Help, is what you’ll need I’ll toss your boat like a toy I’ll snap it like a twig If you want to do battle with me Deep inside you’ll have to dig You’ll need to find the courage To fight in the dark and cold Once I grab onto your boat I’ll not let go of my hold The cold will be bone chilling The dark, as dark can be Though you’re not able to see For sure you’ll feel the wrath of me Some of you may even die Others may wish they were dead Because you encountered me tonight I will forever live in your head It’s not that I am mean That’s not what I want to be Just like others before you have learned Terror can quickly strike on the sea 1-20-06/RJH
