Dark Skies Colassal Waves

Its’ calm

Peaceful,

A sense of euphoria rushes through my spine

As a blast of the ocean breeze grazes my face,

The water below along with my Pride (my ship) are in perfect harmony

Both still,

The sky resmembles a tangerine

A perfect afternoon as the sun sets creating a vibrant orange across the sky,

My destination is set,

All is well until a dark patch is spotted in the sky

Following that patch is a layer of dark purplish clouds within the sky,

A sudden shake in the water slighlty rocks Pride out of its tranquility

Fear strikes my soul looking above to find that the sky is subemersed in dark purple clouds,

Rain begins to pour as more and more waves strike the ship

I brace for impact,

In the distance I see it

A colassal wave resembling the mountains of yosemite,

I am in awe and in total defeat

I know there is nothing I can do,

Pride begins to shift upward until

A violent jerk occurs causing the ship to be completely submerged,

I’m in utter darkness

I can’t see,

Water in my lungs

I can’t breathe,

I hold on to Pride but it tears away from my grasp

I’m left tumbling in the waves,

Out of air I reach for the strap on my life jacket and pull

I’m on the verge of passing out as my body begins to float

Towards the surface of the water,

My ship slowly sinks towards the bottom of the ocean,

I try to chase it but I have no strength

Trying to be the bigger man I had to let Pride go,

My destination being knocked off course

A sense of purpose gone,

I’m left having to deal with the aftermath of the reckage

Staring at the clouds wondering why this has happened to me,

FIghting to stay awake but my eyes are heavy

I close my eyes and wake up to find myself somwhere else,

Clear blue skies above me

Warm bage sand beneath me,

All seems well

I stand and feel the sand between my toes,

Rerouting my destination

while having to deal with the loss of my ship,

But somhow someway I’m still

alive.
