The sky was clear,

The ship was sailing with ease

'Cause the sea was calm.

In an instant,

Dark clouds gathered,

Ruining the perfect day.

The mariners never expected

A storm to come,

So they were not prepared

For the damage

It was to cause.

The rain came first,

Small sign of what

Was yet to happen,

And the mariners ignored it,

Not listening to the signs

That were all around them.

When lightning struck,

The ship was damaged irreparably,

And the mariners started to panic.

Only when the thunder appeared

Did they truly regret

Not changing the course of the ship

To avoid the cruel storm.

By then, the ship had too many holes

To be able to float,

So it sank as the hurricane

Was still raging in the distance.

And so I drowned

Beneath the waves

Caused by your

Perfect storm.
