“Bring up the sails!” The captain yells The waves bash the vessel’s sides The winds blow through the dark skies Rain pours like the grace of God Flowing straight from the face of God Crashes of thunder echo far Sailors pray to gods afar
One such sailor walks to the rail Into to the deep he stares Into the vast black of the ocean His gaze is unbroken What wonders lie beneath the visible? What terrors does the dark hide? Is the depths of the water feasible? The tears of the man are dried As he leaps into the deep
Deep down the water he sinks Deeper than any man can think The water moves and flows Deeper the man goes He is too deep to see the surface He is too deep to know his purpose His mind opens up Before his last breath goes out
The ship rises and falls The waves do not stall The men fight in vain effort To avoid the doom apparent A wave crashes over the ship As the water drains, an eclipse The clouds have broke, the stars Peace falls over the ocean, But not all is well
Is it a man? No. Is it a beast? No. A being of unrecognizable properties A being that rises above the water Like it was his own bath tub Is it a god? Perhaps. Can it be known? Never. It reaches to the small ship, With fingers a mile long It pulls it up with a quick whip, Sailors fly off like pebbles The ship is held suspended The being’s face is that of the moon The captain looks on the face of truth His mind is finally perfected
