Elkana
Captain am’ of mine drowning destiny
I steered best, yet the avalanche seen not
Hidden within twas a vicious viper lurking
Awaiting in the shadows of mine ignorance
And now as I crumble story by story they grin
High and mighty esteemed mine self
Knowing not that it be the death of me
At raging winds, against sailed I bold
Now broken, calm skies bewilds
A mansion did build,
Of dreams coming true
Now it’s architect deranged
It’s completion be a night terror
Of woes I daily bear
On barren ground now tread
To it’s end unkown, for hinde front same.
Yet of every step make, a couple back take
Being blown by desert storm and scorched.
Giving up a doot almost knocking
Hope have come to despise,
Showing up only to sip through.
With every grasp hard than last
Gone gose, mocking mine faith…
