Description
Fate cuts her ice into this sailing shipSurreal but sincere moments loom at hand
Passengers with lives are losing their grip
Upon Nature and God's revealing plan
Waters drown the numbness of their souls
Surrendered fear within some rescued heart
Live now so this great story can be told
Of courage and futility; like art
Sinking, drowning to her final demise
Destruction and submission caught on tape
An altered sense of dread before our eyes
As life becomes no more than fading shapes
If ships are made of steel, but can go down
What chance do we all have before we drown?

That is such a powerful piece...the imagery is painfully beautiful - I really like the way that the whole poem is a metaphor for us and our lives. Its a reminder of how everything in life is so much out of our control. The last line is particularly moving. You are so talented hun!

I disagree with the last line but do like it... My soul is to strong to be held by steel!
