We knew the storms were coming

We didn’t think it would be this bad

As first it was the gentle gusts

That turned into rocking winds

At first it was little ripples in the water

That turned into mountainous waves

At first we had a captain

Who was thrown overboard by the storm

At first we had a boat

Now it is at the bottom of the sea

At first we had a crew

Who is now missing

At first I almost survived

Then suddenly it was over
