I am the deadly sea <br />As my waves pound away <br />I suggest if you want to sail <br />You pick a peaceful day <br /> <br />Don’t try to sail at night <br />Because you may not succeed <br />When I get done with you <br />Help, is what you’ll need <br /> <br />I’ll toss your boat like a toy <br />I’ll snap it like a twig <br />If you want to do battle with me <br />Deep inside you’ll have to dig <br /> <br />You’ll need to find the courage <br />To fight in the dark and cold <br />Once I grab onto your boat <br />I’ll not let go of my hold <br /> <br />The cold will be bone chilling <br />The dark, as dark can be <br />Though you’re not able to see <br />For sure you’ll feel the wrath of me <br /> <br />Some of you may even die <br />Others may wish they were dead <br />Because you encountered me tonight <br />I will forever live in your head <br /> <br />It’s that I am mean <br />That’s not what I want to be <br />Just like others before you have learned <br />Terror can quickly strike on the sea <br /> <br /> <br />1-20-06/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sea-67/
