The Ship will Sink

©10-7-2016, Olan L. Smith


The ship will sink upon this shore

A captain knows to cling no more

Abandon ship his final call

Beloved I failed, today befall

Upon dark shadows, my heartsore.


A Captain's fate is death, go down

To depth unknown for him unfound

No longer beats his heart, in death

The ship will sink.


Raise up, and find what you deplore

A skeleton, a rusty deck, no more.

What you find is all that's left,

My faith is gone, perhaps yours cleft

For me, a soul both dark and sore?

The ship will sink.
