The Ship and The Storm
The waves with clash and clamour beat furious against the hull relentless pound at beam and board seek endless to bend iron to their will The winds so howling strong to move mountains from their root sing chaos through the lines tempt strength to challenge strength This ship, assaulted, strains its moorage, tugs against its bond to dance upon wilding waves exult the wind’s tumultuous song Wind’s siren-song, wave’s caress urge it slip its long-held anchor and free carouse the open sea Yet doom awaits that course unescapable, swift and certain Strongly though it ride the waves in answer to wind’s beguiling call death below the surface waits to shatter fragile hull on shoals well hid behind the storm’s façade and integrity shattered, slowly die
By its anchor held, though battered this ship will withstand the storm
