Mocking The Ocean

Sensing from afar

A menacing motion

I held my arms wide

And welcomed Death from The Ocean

Feeling my presence

It swelled up and grew higher

Longing to envelope me

In its cold watery fire

It craved my spirit

Made intentions clear

I invited its wrath

And felt no fear

Long fluid hands

Spread forth like disease

With a power and swiftness

That is solely The Sea's

It conquered land's barrier's

Destroyed all the churches

Continued to hunt me

A most vicious of searches

Across the terrain

Both hilly and flat

Its strategy for Death

Rehearsed and down pat

Soon found me alone

By myself, looking lazy

It hesitated and pondered

Could this guy be crazy?

The mere mortal should fear me

It continued to think

I scoffed and then poured myself

Another cool drink

Then, summoning its rage

Voice was put forth

A rumble of rage

Heard both south and north

"Hear Hear Simple Being

You Should Cower In Fear

A Force My Size

Is Rarely Wished Near

"Did You Not Know

In My Waves Do Exist

A Means Of Death

You Could Never Resist
