Sea had smiled

winslow homer

Image: Winslow Homer


Sea had smiled with darkening maw,
and bared her salty teeth,
to swallow lost and languished soul;
to drown my mortal grief.
The shadow held to timid craft,
with pitiful resolve,
upon the ocean's wave-lost face
where death would soon enfold.
In dreaming night the journey fled,
through bleak tumult of day,
and mocked the feeble efforts
of mind in Neptune's grave.

  1. Fit together nicely. I particularly like the imagery of the first two lines with the sea as shark, as well.
