A Lull Before The Storm

Seven seas above one tomb.

Empty beds in a shrouded room.

Flowers wilted before they are born.

The fruit of a barren womb, torn

away from a mothers could-have-been embrace.

Debris from the rain clouds contoured her face.

"Rock-a-by gently, carry us home",

she sang to the sea as she sank like a stone.
