The Tempest

["The journey across the Great Sea had lasted for

nearly two weeks, when the islander and his companions

felt an ever increasing strength of wind. It was not

long before the fresh breeze had turned into salty

lashes upon the ship's hull, rocking the vessel as

easily as a clam shell in a maelstrom. The darkest

clouds filled the entire horizon, and with a crack of

lightning the mast was broken into a million splinters

and the tormented sailors cast overboard. It was two

long days and moonless nights before the glaring sun

once more cast its golden rays upon the sole person

remaining afloat, desperately clinging to floating

wooden debris"]

With this dawning clarity

A calm and vast serenity I see

Into this pale infinity

I'm drifting

Spirits of the sea

Streams reached down to me

Visions in a dream

Spared me

With the fury of a storm

A raging, darkened majesty sent me

Into a sunken destiny

Azure divinity

Spirits of the sea

Streams reached down to me

Visions in a dream

Spared me

Spirits of the sea

Harken unto me

The tempest made me see

What must be
