that lifeboat in the sea

once a black night,

far away from the lighthouse dwells that lifeboat in the sea


Roaring

Thralling

Thrashing


Flailing like salmon in an updraft

Tremendously Vivid FLASHES

flashing like a disco tec


leaving me trembling and

Dawn reappearing in hues unto the louring dark

Illuminating that lifeboat in the sea
