A vessel lost in ample mist
Misfortune least expected
A father, a mother, a sister, a brother
Eternally lost to the treacherous blue
Curled up inside a womb,
Sinking down into the deep,
Slicing through absolute silence,
Carving a tomb for a soul to lay
Anguished hearts beseeching a miracle
Deep down knowing its too late to plea
The flame burnt out from life’s candle
As darkness descends in final farewell.
