the blue ship 2



The leaking in the blue ship
The storm lashing it hard and severe
The Captain wakes up from his slumber
Oh my God! I am not dreaming!”
He springs up to action
Running barefooted and shouting his orders
The whole ship in eerie silence
The Captain doesn't hear a response
He stops to listen with his heart pounding rapidly
Am I still in a dream?
Hello everyone?
The cabin in dead silence
He runs down to the engine room
He sees no shadow but his own
The lights switch on
Letting his eyes see the truth
No way they abandoned me!
In this ship I command!”
He sees the water rising
He runs the steps to upper deck
He sees his crew rowing out in the dark
Leaving him standing alone on the deck
Counting the minutes
He knows he will sink with the ship
The huge waves slam on the deck
The Captain falls cursing his luck
The ship tilts over dragging out the sound
The sailors on the boats know it too
They may not survive but they have to try
They see the ship sinking fast
Sorry Captain
We remember you
If we too survive the storm”
