Color
The sun setting on the sea;
Blues and greens, reds and yellows Reflect on the water; For the lone boat at sea Two men watching; Eyes wide, beauty in the making The gentle bobbing of the boat; Humming the men asleep The past comes to mind; No other thought to find A raging storm with no mercy; The waves tossing them around Herds of men flocking; Pulling rope, bailing out water Thunder cracking; Lighting striking Those overboard are frozen; Others pulled into the deep Moon high above in the night; Seeing the havoc that has been raised Two survivors left; On their own small boat The sun rising over the waves; Telling the end of that night Colors on the water bleeding; Such a magnificent sight To live another day; To survive through the night Bodies all gone from their vision; The only company each other Sun beating down; Searing their skin Birds cawing loud; Circling from above Sharks swimming around; Looking for a munch No water to drink; Slowly going mad No food to eat; Stomachs making sounds Relief soon to be found; The sun going down Bleeding water, but not the sun; Two becoming one The water runs red; with the life of another
