War Of Existence

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Nov 07, 2022 

War of
existence.
Setting
sail.
Dock
departure.
Early on.
Calm
waters,
easy waves.
Safe harbor
fading.
Fading
in the
distance
behind.
Winds
quicken.
Swells
growing.
Tacking
increase.
Deeper
waters,
stressing
navigation.
Darkening
clouds a
horizon
away.
Spray
soaking,
tiller
bucking.
Sails
in the
distance.
Danger
approaches.
Cannons
firing,
piercing.
Storms
swamping,
bailing
full speed.
Dangers,
maelstroms
abound.
Relentless
onslaught.
Sails
ripping.
Masts
cracking.
Fighting
hard
to stay
afloat.
No
guarantees.
Such are
the wars
of existence.
