The Monster Under The Sea

Once I had ventured out to sea, looking for refuge 

From all of the sins I have committed and all the crimes I had done

It had scared me and left me raw, shallow, and empty

My only hope was either death or rebirth

 

The storm lashed out mercilessly on the open sea

Waves of green and blue whipped anything in reach

Screams on the large wooden boats slowly being ripped to pieces 

Would forever haunt my memories and dreams

 

As I was thrown overboard and sank steadily

Losing all faith, all hope, and all breath 

Then I saw the large unforgiving beast

With skin covered with crusty shells and rocks

 

Its eyes were spirals of maroon green and blue

With a gold center, staring into my soul

It opened its great mouth to reveal corals as teeth

Ready to snap its jaws and end my miserable life

 

Instead, it spoke in a deep rumbly voice 

And asked me if I would like to start anew, 

washed off of my past sins, just as he himself had

I agreed without hesitance, for I had committed many a crime

 

Now, if you may be so bold as to venture

Out into the open sea in the midst of a storm

You might still see two giant beasts on the ocean floor

Waiting to resurrect you and to build you anew.
