Mighty Ocean Blue

The Mighty Ocean Blue

25 years ago my true love was taken from me
On a deep sea fishing trip in the pacific
The fish were biting plentifully
All was good until the environment around us started to change
Dark clouds and strong winds moved in
The clear sky and smooth water moved away
We pulled the poles in
I took my place as captain behind the wheel
Struggling to keep the boat in control
As strong waves and winds smashed against the side
My wife always looking for a thrill stayed on deck
Enjoying the storm and managing the equipment
A giant wave comes on deck and sweeps her away
I left my position and ran to her aid
Throwing floating devices in the water
She was unable to grab a hold
The waves made sight of her hard
When she began to go under
I dove into the water for her rescue
Struggling to save her when I could barley save myself
Their was no chance
She was gone
My boat was gone
All that was left was me and a raft
Washed ashore on a lone island
My former life was gone
In misery from my inability and lack of strength to save my true love
I lived like a cast away for 25 years
To afraid of the ocean to free my self
The time has come to free my soul
As a 45 year old man
I now have decided
To conquer my fear
I take my raft and set sail on the mighty ocean blue
