Voyage of the Waves
Strong as we stand together,
fighting the winds on the indigo ocean,
We have to work as one
or be taken by the white-capped waters.
Losing hope for our survival
we watch our ships splintered into pieces.
Our fleet tries our best
waiting for the dark to turn to light.
Our war against each other
has suddenly been forgotten,
vanished
our focus now only survival.
We wait fearfully and wonder what will happen
as the tides twist below.
We can only pray to God.
We wait for help to come.
