May

I open my eyes but am blind to the sea My ears are filled with myths For no creature could lurk in the abyss Perhaps I should have paid the fee The air is denser than it was yesterday The sun is refusing to shine And the lonely sea continues to whine Six more nights till I see May I try to sleep at day To be prepared during nightfall That’s when I hear him call Five more nights till I see may I’m getting closer I think Based on my supply of food It’s not lot looking to good One more night, I say on the brink He waited for me to reach the bay Where he rose larger than the sun There I knew I was done Here I almost made it to May
