Gallant ship at risk

Battered by stormy seas

Crew now in peril

Bringing all to their knees

Wayward direction

No other help about

Lost in dark tempest

Navigating with doubt

Evil’s doom waiting

Chaos stirring despair

Waves follow waves

Growling like hungry bears

Hope draining away

Gloomy clouds hiding day

Erratic compass

Searching for tranquil bay

Turmoil faced alone

Unwelcome darkness roams

Light ahead invites

Sailing toward safety’s home

Beacon now fading

Promise dwindles away

Tomorrow postponed

Surrendering its way
