A flash streaks the bay
broken white water in it's wake

Waves surmount harbour wall
salt washing deserted quay

Clouds scurry across grey sky
releasing corpulent raindrops

Lightening slashes yellow
Accompanied by growling thunder

Red flares jostle the sky
illuminating storm lashed mariners

Unknown victims cling to conciousness
eyes scanning the turbulent horizon in hope.

Strangers now saviours appear like angels
extricating the undead from a watery grave.
