Dina Mae Diaz - Shipwreck

He time freeze,
My mind drifted in the ocean of memories
Attract by a lot of fishes: Big, small,
Dark and colorful.

Looking down the water,
Gasping breath in the air.
As I cast the net,
It catches the day I can't forget.

Strong wind blowing,
Dark clouds coming.
Tides getting higher,
Waves, comes anywhere.

I start to paddle off to shore,
Waves getting bigger that I can't measure.
Raindrops was falling on my head
As it becomes larger more than a bead.

Struggling to paddle between waves,
Boat, rocks every minute.
Huge wave coming behind,
It is one of a kind.

Striking the boat
Just in one stroke.
It turned into pieces
And I lost my colorful fishes.

Trying to swim,
But I was in pain.
I'm losing my air,
As bubbles came out of the water.

My body was sinking,
My eyes was still open,
The light was reflecting
Then I noticed a red stain.

Colored fishes came across me,
They were beautiful...
But I can barely see them anymore
Cause the shadow of the dark... is more powerful.....
