Sailboat Race

"Watching sailboats sail at sea is such a wondrous sight, Looking as far as you could see, they play in afternoon light."

Watching sailboats sail out at sea,
Is such a wondrous sight,
Looking as far as you could see,
They play in afternoon light.

They dance and they race, all around,
Leaving white, foamy trails,
As the gentle breeze whips around,
Getting caught in their sails.

A sudden movement, bold and swift,
They disappear from view,
Overshadowed by a great wave,

It's deep and dark and blue.

There beneath arose a bellow,
From below it leapt and struck,
A monstrous and great, ghostly whale,
By the name of Lady Luck.

She crashed, she smashed, vehemently,
And tore them all apart,
Until a loud horn sounded out,
And she stopped with a start.

She disappeared, under again,
As the small crowd went wild,
Though anything could happen still,
In the mind of a child.

Author's Note

You're free to interpret this the way you'd like, but the way I meant for it to go was for it to be about a kid watching a sailboat race and just letting his imagination take over.

Ah the sea it calls us all the waves like heartbeats crash over and over.We all take comfort in the beat and endlessness of the sea.It is the cauldron from which all life came and all life returns.
