Crimson Tide

poem by: Antoinette Pringle
Written on Feb 23, 2020 

I watch the waves as they get bigger
What was once solid ground is now 
An ocean of red fear.  An awakening 
maybe? No, for an awakening is light 
fear is the depth of darkness.
Wait the waves did not cover everthing
I see a light tower in the far midst
of the ocean.  Can I make it pass
The big sea creatures yes, yes
I can for in the dark fear can look like
brave men and fear can make 
Brave men.  I am brave, by God 
I am brave.  I thanked God 
when I touched the rocks 
at the light tower.
