Lost At Sea For A Fortnight
Lost At Sea For A Fortnight
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Thursday, May 13,2010 @7: 10 PM
Lost at sea for a fortnight
No shade from the sunlight
Can’t sleep not even a wink
So much water and not a dropp to drink
Sharks invested waters all around
Waves and the wind make the only sound
No land as for as I can see
No ships passing to liberate me
Fishes beneath abound
Not a fishing pole can be found
To deep to catch and eat
So I suffer in the blazing heat
How I miss the dirt beneath my feet
What I would give for mangoes sweet
Wishing once again lay in a bed
Wanting a dawn pillow under my head
Try I must to stay upbeat
This peril I must defeat
Life’s journey not yet complete
My maker not ready I to meet
I shall remain brave
Any day now my life someone will be save
I am not ready for the grave
Still many paths I have to pave
In stillness I Lay
Nothing to help pass the day
Sustenance my body craves
My mind floats away on the waves
My lips thirst
Clouds disbursed
Sinking headfirst
With the lord I conversed
No rain in sight
No radiance to break the night
I gaze at the starlight
Never did I give up the fight
I longed for a decent shower
Just before my darkest hour
Sharks were ready to devour
Never did I cower
Notice I in a distance
Something appears in the clearance
Peering I at a brilliance
A sound faint breaks the silence
Floated I did on a raft of bamboo
A ship finally came to my rescue
Now I stand on solid ground
Exotic Foods now surround
Path I took up a slippery slope
I once walked on a tightrope
I found the courage to cope
Never ever did I give up hope
