Stormy Seas

By Lily Liu

The stormy sea,

Near the sandy shore,

Out in the ocean

Near to me.

The rules not heeded,

They thought lifeboats were

Not needed.

The ocean’s proved them wrong

While its singing its song.

The raging storm

It would not stay put,

No, not even letting peace

Set foot.

The sky’s dark,

And now it’s night.

But through the clouds,

There’s no hint of moonlight.

The world’s pitch black,

Calmness isn’t coming back.

No, not now,

No, not ever.

But please not forever.
